Everyone froze as the ground shook stopping Aizen mid-sentence as captain komamuru stood behind him, reistu flaring and clearly angry. He raised his sword and brought it down, dust flying as his mind wandered slightly to the past. But reality came back in a rush when he realized that Aizen had caught his sword.

"I haven't seen that for a while… your face that is. Did you have a change of heart of some sort, Komamura-kun?"

Aizen said almost mockingly as he held the blade,

"How…"

The dog man asked rising his spiritual power,

"CAN YOU STILL LAUGH… AIZEN!?"

A large fist crashed in to the ground making Aizen jump away,

"FOR YOUR LIES AND BETRAYAL OF ALL OF US, I SHALL GIVE YOU NO MERCY!"

The smile never left Aizen's face as Komamura saw Tousen stand behind him,

"And you Tousen… DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!?"

He was met with silence,

"Nothing…at all? How disappointing"

He released what was left of his reistu

"TOUSEN! BANKAI!"

In a split second though Aizen appeared right underneath Komamura,

Impossible! He was just standing next to Tousen!

Was the last thought he had before he heard Aizen speak,

"Blast spell 90"

"BAKUDO 8:!"

"Kurohitsugi""SEKI!"

A frown graced Aizen's face as Komumaru fell to the ground behind him, leaving the other watchers shock,

"You skipped the incantation for a spell at the 90th level! How terrifying! When did you become able to do that?"

Gin said with his chesire cat smile,

"No, it failed."

Aizen said walking away Komumaru and toward the former captain and Rukia,

"The power of that blast did not even reach one eighth of its full potential."

Gin turned following Aizen's gaze behind him the dust from the area slowly dissipating revealing a girl panting her hands still up from the spell she just used. There was no way that she would be able to destroy the spell completely unless she was directly there considering it was well executed but she had done the best she could by using the repulse spell.

"Oh! I remember her"

Gin smiled,

"She's the one afraid of people"

He flashed stepped in front of her in an instant,

"Right?"

Kuro jumped just as quickly away landing roughly next to Captain Komamura trying her best not to fall. The situation looked grim she wasn't exactly aware of what was completely going on because during the time of the explanation she was too absorbed with her own captain. What she could tell was that Aizen, Tousen, and Gin were traitors and they were after Rukia. Renji the 6th squad lieutenant was bleeding and unconscious on the ground his blade broken around him and a messy blonde that she couldn't remember seeing before lay on the ground watching her as is wondering what she was planning to do. But with a scowl Kuro knew that this was a lost cause, if two captains were easily taken down then she had no chance against these three monsters. And despite her interference with Aizens high level spell Komamura was still bleeding profusely.

"I must say I am surprised that you're here considering that Hitsugaya-kun must be injured quite badly"

Ichigo, the messy blonde, watched as the ground shook and a dense spiritual energy filled the air and the face of the girl who had just appeared turned dark her black hair flying freely around her and her eyes an almost equally black.

"Shut up before I kill you"

Aizen couldn't even smile at the threat the petite girl gave him because her eyes held no hesitation and he could not afford a time consuming match.

"Well then as I was saying…"

Bitch! Hey! Can you hear me!?

Huh?

Focus! Heal the brute first!

Kuro blinked watching as Aizen lifted Rukia up. Her eyes widened as she watched Aizen stab the girl and remove something. Kuro's brow wrinkled though the wound on the soul reaper was healing she couldn't help but think that the stone Aizen had just collected was far more important. But she couldn't do anything at that point the adrenaline rush she had when he had brought up her captain had left after her momentary black out and now fear filled her unwilling to go help the girl who had served her purpose and was going to be killed.

Move

She willed

Move!

Tears filled her eyes as Gin aimed his sword, her body trembled and just as his sword shot out she closed her eyes.

"Nii-sama?"

Kuro opened her eyes once more Rukia was shaking the 6th captain madly as Aizen walked closer to them and reached for his sword as the girl wrapped her arms around the injured man,

"KEKKAI: Kyomon!"

She yelled putting up her hand as the barrier formed in front of Rukia and her captain, however it was unnecessary as two women appeared stopping him in his tracks. One Kuro recognized as squad two's captain. Kuro looked down at the dog man at her feet and raised her other hand watching as it turned green upon contact and began to close his wounds. Her head was hurting though she wanted to know what was happing with her captain but she felt trapped here. More captains appeared and she released the barrier, focusing on healing the wounded captain.

Suddenly a bright light filled the sky causing Kuro to look up and seeing hollows open a hole in the sky. Her mouth fell open and the healing stopped as she watched Aizen, Tousen and Gin start to float up, the ground cracked making Kuro jump as Komumaru slammed his fist in the ground trying to get up, blood pouring down,

"TOUSEN! GET DOWN HERE, TOUSEN! EXPLAIN TO ME! WHY DID YOU BECOME A SHINIGAMI!? WAS IT NOT FOR YOUR DECEASED FRIEND!? WAS IT NOT TO CARRY OUT JUSTICE!?

WHERE IS YOUR JUSTICE NOW!?"

Kuro turned from the wounded man and closed her eyes

Justice

What is justice?

"TOUSEN!"

He yelled again before collapsing to the ground, She looked up toward the traitors her eyes locking with Aizen's just before the portal closed she watched the way his lips moved forming a word before the door shut leaving her stunned. Chaos began as orders were barked to get the wounded healed. Kuro touched her chest. Komamura tried to stand again brushing off the people who were trying to help him but Kuro walked up placing a gentle hand on his arm making him turn to her,

"At least allow me to heal you, after all I think you're the only one I'm not afraid of"

She said trying to smile, he looked down at her then turned to the two others that had come to him

"Leave, this girl will heal me help the others"

He collapsed on the floor and Kuro quickly began glad that she was actually really good at healing kido. Silence brewed though as the hill was covered in verbal orders,

"I'm sorry"

Kuro said hoping to ease the tension as she moved to another section healing him quickly, the captain looked down at her,

"You lost a friend"

The captain sighed looking up at the place the traitors had disappeared,

"I suppose I have, though…"

He looked down at her again making eye contact,

"I'm surprised you're not afraid of me"

Kuro smiled half-heartedly as she moved to heal another spot,

"I suppose not looking human has its benefits"

Silence filled the air again leaving the two to their own thoughts Komamura noticed the girl grab his shirt tightly and looked down to see her face covered in ever flowing tears her eyes closed tightly as if trying to shut out the world,

"why?... Why did this have to happen?."

Komamura nose scrunched,

"I couldn't even protect captain"

The girl beneath him hiccupped looking so frail and gentle that he felt sad for her. There was a lot of pain, many people had been hurt. He put a large hand gently on her shoulder,

"We will make it through this"

Kuro looked at his determined eyes as much as she could through her own teary ones and slowly leaned her forehead on his chest. Her whole body becoming the medium for the healing kido and engulfing him in a green light that eased his aching body. He was more than a little surprised at the ability but choose not to say anything at the moment.

"Yea."
