Orihime's scream rips throughout the house and both Yuzu and Karin leap towards each other and grab each other's hand trying not to worry about the situation. Rukia curses and rummages frantically for her tube of pills. Yoshino blinks feeling her daddy's spiritual pressure weaken drastically. She begins to cry silently at her mummy's wavering spiritual pressure from downstairs but then she stops blinking at the small glowing light in the room.
Orihime steps back into the kitchen at the sound of footsteps. The young man turns around the corner with a red glowing light enveloping around his hand. She tries not to feel weak against the huge spiritual pressure. Tears run down her cheeks as she realises yet again she's been saved. Uryuu must have known he couldn't defeat someone this strong.
"Oh I'm sorry was he your boyfriend or something?" The stone voice says and Orihime glares at his emotionless face and then concentrates on the slides in her hair.
"I wouldn't try it… I know all about your powers Orihime Inoue. They're no match for me." He says before Orihime can even open her mouth. She gulps glancing past him to the hall where Uryuu's spiritual pressure wavers.
Yoshino blinks at the pretty glowing light. Its electric blue colour reminds her of the thing mummy and daddy call sky. It was more than that though it reminds her of the blue light daddy has. She blinks again feeling the bad pressure near mummy. She closes her eyes tightly and lets out a wail. The light seems to grow behind her lids and without thinking she pictures her mummy's presence clearly in her head. Her mummy would probably be bright colours like pink and orange.
"Time for me to end this I'm afraid." The cold voice says and Orihime freezes closing her eyes as the red light glows brighter behind her closed eyes lids. She takes in a deep breath and then the red light seems to fade away behind a blanket of blue. Orihime opens her eyes to see shinning blue light surrounding her in a cube shape. The light glows the same colour as Uryuu's Quincy bow and arrows. The man sighs and then fires the red blaze forward. Orihime gulps and then gasps as the blue light absorbs the red beams easily.
"What the hell is this?" He snarls walking towards Orihime and trying to put his hand through the blue light. He hisses as the sleeve of his dark jacket seems to disintegrate into nothing.
"Yoshino." Orihime realises smiling at the glowing light. The light of her daughter which matches the colour of her husbands. Orihime smiles despite the situation knowing how talented her daughter is already.
"Orihime-Chan!" Yuzu yells from the door. The young man turns and smiles before he fires the red light towards the twins. Orihime screams and both twins jump out of the way but then scream as it wraps around them in a choking grip and lifts them off the ground.
"I'll use you two as bait then." He snarls and flash steps away with Yuzu and Karin disappearing with him.
Yoshino stops crying feeling the pressure leave. Orihime gasps as the blue light shatters. She falls to her knees in shock and then scrambles to her feet and stumbles into the hall before running to the bottom of the stairs and dropping onto her knees by Uryuu's bloody body. Orihime strokes the black hair from his face and lets her tears fall onto his face. His chest rises and falls quickly but he smiles under the soft touch of her fingers.
"I'm so sorry." Orihime chokes burying her face gently into his chest.
"It's ok. Princesses are meant to be protected after all." Uryuu smiles opening his eyes and the lifting his hand gently and stroking her hair. She sits up in an instant and looks down at him with tears falling out of her eyes.
"I love you." She whispers.
"I love you too." He replies and she leans forward with tears falling out of her eyes before she presses her lips to his.
Rangiku and Tatsuki skid to a stop on top of a warehouse where the high pressure is blazing. Tatsuki curses seeing the twins screaming desperately in the grip of a gleaming red light. Both Shinigami exchange a glance and then flash step closer to the young man who is waiting for them.
"Release them you bastard!" Tatsuki yells.
"I apologise but neither of you are Rukia Kuchiki and so it doesn't matter what you order me to do. I can't let my hostages go." He sighs.
"What the hell do you want with her?" Rangiku hisses and he lets out a hollow laugh.
"This conversation is pointless." He sighs and then lifts a hand towards Rangiku and red light forms around it. He gives a shrug and the Rangiku grabs Haineko's handle.
"Growl Haineko!" She calls as the red beams rush towards her. She turns quickly and pushes Tatsuki out of the way suddenly before blinking as the red light rushes towards her blazing angrily as if just waiting to devour her.
"Shoot to kill…" A soft voice whispers and a figure appears between Rangiku and the red blaze. A white light slices through the light and Rangiku blinks confused at the new arrival. The red light disintegrates after scorching the figure. The red light fades and Rangiku just catches a head of silver hair before the figure drops to his knees.
"Gin!" Rangiku chokes and falls to her knees. He falls back into her arms and she strokes his face frantically. "Gin! Wake up right now!"
"Sorry." He chokes blinking up at her beautiful face.
"What are you doing here?" She demands and he smiles.
"I overheard Toushiro. Why would you worry me like that you idiot. You can't just leave me now I've finally come back." Gin chuckles lightly and Rangiku punches him weakly before flash stepping to the corner of the roof and helping Gin sit up.
"Stay here. You've not fully recovered you numpty." Rangiku sighs before flash stepping to Tatsuki's side. They exchange a glance and Rangiku shrugs before Tatsuki smiles and thanks her briefly before they both lunge apart as red light blazes towards them.
"He's fast." Tatsuki hisses and Rangiku nods flash stepping forward and swinging Haineko towards him. He moves out of the way easily and then fires red light at her. She jumps back thinking she's dodged and then curses as the light wraps around her ankles and then flings her up in the air.
"Growl Haineko!" She calls again and sand appears around her and shoots towards the guy. He blinks and then shakes his head and knocks it away with a swirl of red light. Rangiku curses as she's encaged in red light.
"Rangiku!" Tatsuki says flash stepping forward towards the cage of light to be knocked away quickly. She curses as she slides along the floor with burning pains all along her right side. She is about to jump away when red light wraps around her like a cocoon. She struggles but it dropped onto the floor where strings of red light tangle around her arms and legs stopping her from moving.
"Now it's about time we end this don't you think?" He says simply and Gin struggles to get up as Rangiku grits her teeth and both Karin and Yuzu are flung into the air.
"Karin! Yuzu!" Tatsuki screams and both the twins scream and reach out for each other.
Karin watches as Yuzu reaches out to her through the blazing light. Karin can't scream in the tight grasp of the light though she can tell she's falling. She closes her eyes and then a second later jolts to a stop. She opens her eyes to see a figure grasping onto her hand. The figure flash steps to Yuzu and grabs her around the waist and then drops down onto the roof. The red light around the twins disintegrates away and without thinking Karin lunges at Yuzu and grasps onto her in a tight hug. Both twins tip their heads to look at their rescuer.
"Rukia?" Karin mumbles and then gapes at the sight. Rukia's uniform is burnt and ripped on the left sleeve and along the right side of her body. Her breaths are fast yet calm.
"Oh so you did show up?" The guy asks and a small smirk appears on his face.
"Rukia get out of here!" Rangiku yells and she shakes her head.
"You need to leave now!" Tatsuki agrees.
"Uryuu and Orihime told me what they found out." Rukia says talking to the guy and ignoring her friends. "You were going to use Orihime as a hostage but you used Karin and Yuzu instead. You were planning to kill my friends to get me angry. All this time I believed you were after Yoshino but you were after me."
"Well done Rukia Kuchiki. You truly are as clever as they say." He calls over to her mockingly. She frowns in response.
"Well congratulations because you succeeded." Rukia flash steps to his side grabbing Sode No Shirayuki's handle. "You made me very angry."
"Oh well then this should be entertaining for your friends." He chuckles ducking under the blade and then skidding under her as she jumps to attack from above. "Instead your friends will watch you die."
"You underestimate me." Rukia hisses flash stepping behind him as he skids away. She swings forward and he dodges but his coat rips in half and falls of his shoulders revealing a dirty white shirt underneath.
"Oh I guess I have." He chuckles and then smirks. "And you have underestimated me!" He cackles and red light appears either side of her. She flash steps back but it follows her. She drops onto the roof and waits until the light is an inch away from her before she flash steps away.
"Rukia!" Karin screams as her friend slides through another wall of red light. Rukia grits her teeth at the burning pains as the light touches her skin. She flash steps to the centre of the roof now missing a sleeve off her uniform and her arm bright red as if it's been burnt.
"Oh how stupid of you. That move you decided to use was easy to read from your actions earlier." He sighs walking towards her slowly with glowing red hands. She grabs the handle of Sode No Shirayuki tightly with a frown on her face.
"I'm going to slice you in two!" She yells flash stepping towards him. She moves quickly slices forward and then spinning around to slice again as they dodge and lunge at each other like a dance. Rukia lands back on the roof with him landing a few meters away. Her legs shake and her uniform hangs off one shoulder with half the front and back missing. Her breath is fast and tired.
"I think I should kill you slowly so your friends enjoy it more." He offers and Rukia shakes her head.
"Before you kill me I need to know why me?" She says between deep breaths. He tips his head to the side and takes one step towards her.
"You see it started simply with my death. I died and was sent to the Soul Society. I had spiritual pressure but you see they didn't quite like the way I acted. I was rebellious being a child from the streets on Earth as well as in the Soul Society." He explains. "Then I remember meeting this man. He was a great noble and he took one look at me and decided to tutor me. He said I had potential and so he took me in and helped me train."
"Sound pleasant." Rukia interrupts and he frowns.
"It was. I thought of the man as a brother but then he got married and he stopped tutoring me. His wife died though and I thought that I would be able to train with him again. Then he found a girl. She was just a kid from the streets like me but he took her in too. I was happy because I thought he'd found me a friend." He explains. "Then I was told by one of his servants I wasn't worthy to speak with him."
"Big deal…" Rukia hisses.
"I left furious knowing that he probably told them not to let me in and then I saw her. She was young and pretty and he was stood talking to her. He talked to her so easily and wasn't even wearing his Shinigami uniform. It was sickening." He glares at Rukia. "To think a scrawny little rat like you replaced me!"
"What?" Rukia stammers.
"My mentor was Byakuya Kuchiki before he became a Captain." He yells. "So how will my precious Byakuya Kuchiki..." Rukia frowns at his sarcasm. "React when he finds his little bitch dead. I think he'll be pretty damn angry don't you! I think he would be devastated actually if his old pupil killed his sister!"
"You bastard!" Rukia screams flash stepping forward with anger rolling off her.
"Die Kuchiki princess." He cackles sarcastically and then Rukia chokes at the same time as all five of her friends scream her name. She looks down at the red liquid dropping onto the floor and then looks to the guys hand by her side dripping with blood. The last thing she notices before the situation meets her brain is the large gash in her right side.
