Toshiro's/Hyorinmaru's thoughts Karin's/Akakiryū thoughts

Chap 11

As the battle rages on, the fight for the peace in the world, a familiar hero comes back from the shadows.

"Ichi-nii…" Karin murmured as she was held in her strong brother's arms.

"Hey, I came to protect you." Ichigo smirked. Karin was so shocked, yet relived that her brother came to help them.

"Oh, so this is the substitute soul reaper who finished off lord Aizen. This is Kurosaki Ichigo." Katsuro said to himself as he looked at the tall orange haired boy.

"You got a lot of nerve to hurt my sister. I'm gonna take you down, right here!" Ichigo exclaimed as he glared at the blonde. Katsuro only chuckled.

"Ichigo!" another familiar voice said. It was the small black haired shinigami, Kuchiki

Rukia. "I'll take care of Karin. You go handle that guy." Rukia said as she reached out for Karin.

"Thanks Rukia. You got a lot of explanation to do, you hear me." Ichigo told Karin. With all the little energy she had left, Karin only smirked and was taken away to be healed.

"You may have defeated lord Aizen, but I can assure you. I'm way stronger than he is." Katsuro said as he got ready.

"Heh, I got it! Just don't go easy on me!" Ichigo smirked and the battle begun.

Good, at least now Karin's safe.

Now you can really give it all right master?

You got that right!

"Reign over the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru!" Toshiro chanted and another blast of ice went towards Mami.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Is that all you men got? I was expecting better considering that you two are captain level. Maybe I should go fight that orange boy there, he seems like a good catch." Mami said seductively.

"You're going nowhere! Your fight's here!" Toshiro exclaimed as he mustered all his spiritual pressure. "Bankai! Daiguren Hyorinmaru!" Soon majestic ice wings grew on the back of Toshiro, an ice dragon grew on his right arm, encasing the hilt of his sword and three four purple pointed flowers behind him.

"Now this is getting interesting!" Mami said as she darted towards Toshiro.

"Shake the Earth, Chikyū inu!" Akihiro exclaimed as boulders came tumbling down on the shinigami.

"Grow,Hōzukimaru!"

"Bloom, Ruri'iro Kujaku!"

"Growl, Haineko!"

"Howl, Zabimaru!"

All the shinigami attacked at once, but sadly to no avail.

"Man, you guys are no fun! How is it that you took care of all the espadas and you can't even put a scratch on little old me!" Akihiro exclaimed proudly.

"YOU IMBECILE! YOU'RE ONLY LUCKY NOW! BUT ONCE I GET THERE, I'M GONNA TEAR YOUR LIMBS OFF!" Ikkaku exclaimed in his loudest voice, tick marks forming all over his bald head.

"Chill Ikkaku!" Renji assured.

"Yes, It really is unbeautiful to show such violence in public." Yumichika told his best friend.

"That really isn't the point right now." Matsumoto said.

Back at the shop, Tessai was finishing up Karin's wounds. Though her strength was nearly gone, she was still able to see everyone fighting their own battles.

Everyone…I should be up there too.

No mistress. You must now contain your energy for a bigger fight ahead of you. Besides, your brother, lover and the rest of your friends can surely handle this.

How many times do I have to tell you. Toshiro ain't my lover!

The battle continues. Ichigo already in bankai mode, slashing his way at Katsuro. However, Katsuro kept his cool moves, dodging every hit Ichigo tried to make.

"Give it up Kurosaki. The more angry you are, the less focus you will have." Katsuro said, as he continued to dodge the furious strawberry's sword.

"Shut up! I don't need a lecture from the likes of you! Getsuga Tenshou!" Ichigo exclaimed as he blasted a strong force of energy towards Katsuro.

"I'm getting quite tired with this, I think it's about time I go after what I came for." Katsuro said as he headed for the shop, however was stopped by a purple haired woman.

"Sorry, but you're not going anywhere near there." Yoruichi said, as she readied a sucker punch.

"You shinigami are quite annoying. I better shut those mouths of yours! Strike down, Raida!" and a large lightning beam came towards Ichigo and Yoruichi. However what they didn't know that that was a diversion. A flash of light came down onto the shop, almost making everyone blinded. Soon they saw Tessai, Jinta and Ururu lying wounded on the ground. Ichigo, Toshiro, Urahara and Yoruichi rushed down to help them up.

"Where's Kain?" Toshiro asked, frantically searching the room.

"Here's your little princess." Everyone looked up, to see Katsuro holding Karin in his arms.

"You bastard! Give her back!" Toshiro exclaimed as his spiritual pressure rose tremendously.

"Now now, why would I want to do that? After all, having her brings me that much closer to our goal. If you want her back that badly, you'll hand over your blade, Hitsugaya Toshiro." Katsuro instructed. Toshiro gripped hard onto Hyorinmaru. Suddenly, a black hole appeared, leading to Hueco Mundo. "Now then we shall take our leave. Like I said, if you want the girl back. Hand over the last blade." Katsuro said as he and the other two walked into the hole.

"Hey wait!" Ichigo cried out as he dashed towards the them, but he was too late. Now the team were one step further from saving the world.

Hueco Mundo

I their lair, Katsuro set Karin down gently onto a long table.

"Still unconscious?! What a weakling! I say after that boy hands over the blade, we throw her out into the wilderness!" Mami exclaimed, Akihiro nodded vigorously.

"There will be no throwing out, especially her." Katsuro said sternly.

"Why brother, you taken a liking to her?" Akihiro asked.

"Maybe, but she plays a special part in our plan, other than being the holder of the fire blade." Katsuro said as he placed his hand on her face.

"Like what?" Mami asked, clearly disgusted by the scene.

"I believe she's the key to opening the gate. If we threw her out, there will be no way we can get to our goal." Katsuro explained.

"You really think she's the one?" Akihiro asked.

"My eyes never deceive me. Once we get our hands on the ice blade, these worlds shall be ours!"

That's it for this chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. Pls note that my updates will be quite long so pls be patient, Thanks and pls remark!
