Merry Christmas! ^-^

A group of Shinigami ran past an alley way, not knowing that there are three beings hiding in it. Ichigo poked his head out and looked to see if anyone else was coming. When he saw no one, he turned to his siblings. "Okay, let's go." They left the alley, going the opposite way than the Shinigami were going.
Shiro turned to glare at Brielle and hissed, "I thought you said that this way was deserted."
"I never said that. I only said that the red paths had a lot of people going down them or have pits in them. This path was the quickest and safest root, but it still has Shinigami running through them," Brielle explained.
"Shut it, smart mouth." He was glaring at the sky now.
Ichigo got a tick mark on his forehead. "BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" The orange haired teen shouted. Brielle hit him over the head. "OW! What was that for?!"
"You're the one that need to quiet down, or do you want them to find us?" Brielle asked with an un-amused expression.
Ichigo looks away and sighs, "You and Shiro are abusive." Said Hollows start to chuckle. "Come on, we need to save Rukia, then go find our friends, and then get out of here." Ichigo waved his hand to strengthen his statement.
They are moving again toward the Senzaikyu.
The siblings found a clearing that has a huge set of stair that would lead them to the 1st Division barracks as well as where they're keeping Rukia, but they also found someone in the clearing waiting for them.
This person they recognize as Renji Abarai. He was standing by the stairs with his Zanpakuto already drawn out, leaning against his shoulder and in Shikai.
"I've been waiting for you, Ryoka. Waiting to kill you for stealing Rukia's powers and siding with those Hollows," Renji growled in disgusted and started walking toward the siblings.
Ichigo sighed and muttered, "I didn't steal her powers. Why do they think I stole it?"
"They weren't there and they're not going to think that a living human is going to become a Shinigami," Brielle guessed.
"Still, I think it's stupid," Ichigo said.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, you think tha' King got his powers from some weaklin'?! HA, that's rich! Someone like tha' Shinigami girl could not hope ta dream of wakin' up someone as powerful as me!" Shiro exclaimed, laughing. Ichigo and Brielle sighed, they're thinking of letting Rukia beat him up for insulting her, even though he's right.
Renji is grinding his teeth; that was the last straw. The red haired Shinigami charged.
Shiro turned into his blade form and returned to Ichigo's hand, so Ichigo can block Renji's attack.
Renji's surprised that the Hollow turned into that big sword that he now realized was missing from Ichigo's person. "How did that Hollow turn into that Zanpakuto?!" He demanded.
"Shiro is one of the spirits of my Zanpakuto. If you want to know more, you'll have to beat me first," Ichigo stated. The two fighters broke apart.
"Oh, so I'm guessing that the dragon-like Hollow over there is the other one?" Renji attacked Ichigo again by extending his Zanpakuto and swinging it at Ichigo.
Ichigo dodged and shunpo behind the tattooed Shinigami and sliced into his back. Renji moved away from him while swinging Zabimaru downward at him, cutting into his left shoulder. Ichigo inspected his shoulder and saw that it wasn't as deep as he thought it was; Shiro must have lessened the damage. He turned back to Renji. "No, she isn't. Brielle is my soul sister, which is a spirit animal. That's why she looks like a dragon more than ahuman Vasto Lorde looks like," Ichigo answered.
"Animals keep their animal shape when they turn into Vasto Lordes," Brielle called out from besides a building.
Ichigo attacked Renji and the red head blocked it, they were trying to push each other back, but Ichigo was stronger and push Renji up against the wall.
Renji looked Ichigo in the eyes and said, "Tell me, why are you trying to save Rukia? You know that there are thirteen Division Captains and eleven more Vice-Captains. You would have to beat them all if you want to get to her, so why are you trying, why don't you just give up?"
"Why am I trying? It's because I have to save her, and I will! If I have to beat all the Captains and Vice-Captains, then so be it!" Ichigo exclaimed. "Why aren't you doing the same thing? I know that you two use to be friends, that's why you so bent on killing me. So instead of killing me, why don't you try to save her yourself?!"
"Shut up!" Renji pushed Ichigo away. "It's because of you that Rukia has to suffer! It's your fault; it's your fault that Rukia is going to die!" Renji swung at Ichigo wildly.
Ichigo blocked it. "You don't think I know that?! That's why I have to save her!" He pushed Renji's Zanpakuto away from himself, and noticed that it retracted. 'So, three times is his limit, huh?'
"It's not Ichi's fault, he did nothing wrong!" Brielle shouted. "It's your stupid rules that are going to get Rukia killed! So blame your corrupted government instead of us!"
Ichigo can tell that Brielle was shouting at him as well for admitting that it is his fault. 'She is going to beat me up later,' he thought.
'She won't be alone,' Shiro growled. 'It's rainin' in here.' Ichigo can feel his Hollow Zanpakuto's glare.
Ichigo sighed; he should have seen that one coming.
Renji got even angrier – if that was even possible – and attacked Brielle for the comment. Brielle just blocked it and pushed it away.
"Ichi's your opponent, not me. If you beat him, then you can fight me," Brielle said un-amused.
It was a good thing that Brielle reminded him, or else he would have lost an arm if he didn't dodge. The red head attacked and Ichigo batted it out of his way. Renji tried again, but Ichigo dodged. Now Ichigo was right in front of Renji.
"Getsuga," He started to say, but then Ichigo got a bad feeling all of a sudden. He heard a little high pitched sound, but it was too quiet for most people to hear when they're fighting. Ichigo pushed Renji away and toward Brielle. Brielle heard the noise and was trying to get to Ichigo. This all happened within a matter a three seconds, before the bombs went off, catching Ichigo inside the explosion.
