"Sit upon the Frosted Heavens, Hyorinmaru," Hitsugaya's voice expressed no emotion as his zanpakuto magically transformed into the same katana with a guard. Kelly, with Kurushimi, glared at him, for a second, her eyes were just as dull as Katsu's. Karin slightly smiled at Hitsugaya's bold and daring look.

"Toshiro..." she mumbled with much weakness. She then heard footsteps coming from behind, her heartbeat stopped for a second. Now she knew she was going to die if someone was coming from behind. She trembled in fear and awaited her painful death.

Her fear subsided and was replaced with surprise once she heard, "Fulfill, Hisagomaru!" shouted the innocent voice of the fourth division's second seat. Karin exhaled a breath in relief, she allowed the kido to heal her wound and seconds after, she felt good as new.

She stood up on her feet and looked behind her to see Yamada with his same scalpel zanpakuto. He twisted the zanpakuto in his hand with a smirk plastered on his face, "Thanks, Yamada-Kun," she moderately grinned, but it was very pathetic. Yamada noticed this right away, but said nothing about it and focused on the outset of the fight between Hitsugaya-Taicho and eighth Espada, Kelly.

"Hitsugaya-Taicho is about to take on that girl, she must be considerately powerful for him to raise his reiatsu so high, especially since hollows can be attracted to this town very soon," Yamada observed. Karin turned her sights to the two who were preparing for their battle that is just seconds due. Karin's eyes sadden as soon as she lays her eyes upon the both of them.

"Hitsugaya-Taicho... he have to fight because of me. If I wasn't so weak, then he wouldn't have to face someone who he knew so well-" she was cut off by Yamada. Karin heart faltered when she heard his words.

"If he really didn't want to fight an old friend, he would still have to fight," Karin felt her chest fall, "If you win or lose, it won't matter. Since she is very powerful, he'll have to face or sooner or later, it's just sooner. So don't blame yourself, Kurosaki-Fukutaicho," Yamada commanded with an inspiring and strict voice. She calmed down with an inaudible breath.

Her grin widen, "Yea, thanks again, Yamada," silence, "Thanks for setting me straight," she held her head up high with pride, You can do it Hitsugaya-Taicho, no you can do it Toshiro, she thought warmly in her head. With that thought, the battle engaged.

With her two, black swords, she slashes the air with much fury. At that moment, Hitsugaya takes off by shunping closer to her and taking a slash at her. He expected her to block it easily, but Hyorinmaru went right through her body. Kelly appeared behind him and attacked by extending all the blades on her fingers. Hitsugaya tried to block the attack, but once again, to his revelation, Hyorinmaru couldn't even touch her Kurushimi. He ended up shunping a few meters away just to avoid.

From Yamada and Karin's point of view, they just saw a little kid playing with his new sword, "You do know you can't hit her from all the way over there, right?" Karin asked while her and Yamada sweatdropped.

Ignoring her comment, Hitsugaya still tried to fend off Kelly's attack. After the second hit, he concluded that it was another one of Kelly's illusion. She would fight dirty by messing with one's mind until they are unstable, but he was smart enough not to fall for the same trick twice. But he knew by her explaining her powers long ago, that if her sword, in this case Kurushimi, was to touch you in her illusion, you would still feel it. She can alter reality in one's point of view. It seems impossible, but Tosen had a similar ability in bankai, but he took away senses, she's controlling sensing.

After having enough of the annoying illusion attacks and making himself look like an idiot, he shunpo'd randomly in different direction to keep himself moving so he could avoid the attacks. Hitsugaya focused on the reiatsu of the Espada, trying to find the real her. After doing so, a figure that looked exactly like her illusion copies appeared in the back of the mirage of Kellys in his path.

He focuses his reiatsu on his blade to thicken up its density in reiatsu and shunpo in front of the further away Kelly. Finally, he landed a blow on her, making all her little minions disappear as well, "Nice job, Toshiro-Kun," she whispered with a sadistic smile, "But not good enough!" she growled. During his slash, she kicked him in the gut, sending him about a few kilometers in the air. The pressure of the attack was amazing, even with Hitsugaya's god-like strength, he couldn't slow down, much less stop it, the force of the blow.

"Damnit, I need to stop this roller coaster before she takes on Karin and Yamada," he mumbled to himself positioning his arms in an "x" in a desperate attempt to stop the force and the annoying wind blowing through his hair. Finally, when the force calmed down, he shunpo'd as quick as ever to resume his fight and to protect his subordinates in the fight, I'm coming Karin, you better not be bloody or even die before I get down there.


Meanwhile, Damn, it has only been five minutes, but they're able to get up, Inoue thought helplessly, trying with all her might to keep her two opponents down. She sucked out more of their reiatsu, but that wasn't enough. Even during the process, Katsu and Nami were able to stand on their knees.

Nami rolled her eyes, "Okay, okay! Let's cut the joke," the was a smirk plastered on her face and amusement was the only thing it could represent, "Did you really think that something as miraculous as that really didn't have a weakness, or was you just trying to hide that fact away from us?" Nami asked while her an her brother stood up without a care in the world.

"You really are the idiot the elder Espada made you out to be. It will be your finally mistake, sending Kurosaki Ichigo away." his glare as cold as the dead, it made Inoue flinch a bit, "Seize, Nikui Namattaha," He unsheathed his zanpakuto from his back. What caught Inoue by surprise was, instead of a close range weapon like normal arrancar, there was a bow n' arrow in his hand. It glowed a soft indigo continuously and it never ceased. He also had a staff on his back that was barely visible because of the shield behind him, but it glowed just as brilliantly as his bow n' arrow.

His outfit changed by his jacket being stripped of him and becoming a shield behind him that glowed the same color as his weapon. His shirt had no sleeves, like a tank top, but it covered his collarbone. His pants stayed the same as they were, but his whole outfit was turned gray and black instead of white and black. His shoes were exposed as boots that have the ends of his pants tucked safely inside. His mask transformed itself into, what looked like, the upper piece of Nami's mask and it started at the end of his nose.

Inoue was confused by his resurrección, "Your zanpakuto's name refers to a hateful dulled blade, but you wield a bow n' arrow instead? I would have expected a machete or a similar weapon," Inoue asked with much power.

Katsu sighed heavily, "Why does your zanpakuto's name refers to an iris when clearly roses are blooming with brilliance upon the blade? It's the same concept," Katsu answered, "I asked that question myself once, but Nikui Namattaha explained that it wield a bow n' arrow because his blade has dulled with regret," Katsu bladdered on, "So, shinigami, I have showed you my resurrección, I ask to see your bankai."

Inoue glared at the man, "You have the nerve to ask me to release my bankai when you too are in the first stage of your release. You should mind your manners to a lady. Or do you even have a second state of your release?" Inoue scoffed at him and his arrogance. Katsu raised an eyebrow to what she was talking about, "Like shinigami have bankai, Arrancar have a second release called Resurrección: Segunda Etapa. Cifer Ulquiorra, former fourth Espada, was the only one to discover and gain this technique. After enrolling into the Shin'o Academy, I took classes that mainly focused on a shinigami's stage level and the absolute limit every shinigami had. After everyone of those classes, I would research the Hogyoku and concluded after two weeks that it has the ability to bless hollows with the exact same powers as a shinigami, well except for the changes within various stages," Inoue concluded.

"Various?" Katsu questioned.

Inoue smirked at his one worded question, "Yes, various. In every class, my sensei would tell us that the shinigami limit is bankai, but my research has discovered that there are five stages to a shinigami's limit, we have just scratched the surface," she informed the two, "I call the third stage Kokai, beyond release. The fourth stage Genkai, infinite release. Finally, the fifth stage, Yunkai, universal release. I have told multiply shinigami about my findings and most of them are bankai users, but now they have reach Kokai. I have myself," she held her zanpakuto to the enemy.

"So I will grant your arrogant request, you will die here. That I know," she spoke proudly while leaking out a bit of her reiatsu. Winds gathered and strongly left, forcing the both of them to cover their faces from the force, "Bankai, Shukketsu Ayame!" Inoue shouted loudly, but the air pressure was to dense for the sound to reach her opponents. A flower bloomed over her right eyes with thorns flowing through it. An ax was born was from the two meter, large katana. Her ax grew at least four times it's shikai size and it was like a spiky bush, sharp ends coming out of nowhere and randomly growing. Two roses bloomed. A huge rose at the bottom and a smaller one at the top. Once those roses bloomed, black vines rapidly spread across the weapon, "Now am I the idiot the elder Espada made me out to be?"

Katsu and Nami slightly flinched at her statement. Katsu had to take back all he said about her, he definitely underestimated her. She was truly the granddaughter of the Soul King.


"Damn, Orihime, she knows I'm no good at this stuff, why'd she have to send me," pouted Kurosaki as he shunpo'd around and barely focused his reiatsu on his human family, "But still..." Kurosaki had a flashback.

Flashback:

"Kurosaki-Kun! Kurosaki-Kun!" yelled a mildly hyper Inoue, "I just found out something that's going to change shinigami forever!" she yelled with the same excitement.

Kurosaki held his ear in pain, "Yeah, yeah, but could you explain a bit more quieter," he asked while still massaging his ear. A slight blush coated her pale face as she quickly used her hands to cover her big mouth.

"Well, remember when I told you I was researching shinigami and arrancar limits?" Inoue asked with her hands still over her mouth, "I just figured out that shinigami have more than two stages of power they can access. Shinigami are able it reach five different stages. Shikai, Bankai, Kokai, Genkai, and Yunkai," Inoue explained. Kurosaki's jaw dropped to the ground.

"WAIT! Doesn't that mean we can exceed bankai?!" he yelled out to the whole fifth division, there was even an echo. Inoue nodded like she didn't hear him scream that loud, still with that innocent look with her hands over her mouth and in her school uniform, "Didn't you start the Shin'o Academy two weeks ago!?" Inoue nodded with the same innocent look.

End of flashback

"No, Orihime's smarter and stronger than she looks. She's not that same girl who would cry out for help from me anymore," Kurosaki reassured himself. "Help me, Kurosaki-Kun!" he heard Inoue's weak and weary voice echoing through his head, "I don't want to hear her voice that weak again... No, I can't hear her voice that weak again," he whispered to himself. Then, he felt Inoue's reiatsu increase drastically. He stopped in mid air and turned back to the place where he left Inoue. She can handle it, she has unlocked three releases.
