Yoshi Story
Kurai sprinted through the streets, sliding to a stop when he sensed Rukia fire another spell to his left. There was an old worn sword laying in front of a a building with a broken door and he had to grin. Not many other places for her to be. He stepped inside, sword out and Yachiru waiting in the street outside.
The same Bount that had fought him was standing just to his right, Reishi from the building they were in streaming into her.
"Look who it is," she sneered before slashing at him with her sword.
Kurai blocked it then jumped, spinning and kicking her out of the building. She landed on her feet, glancing sideways at Yachiru who smile and waved from her seat, now on top of the nearby wall. Kurai stepped out of the building, Ririn and Rukia both fleeing down the street.
"I don't think I ever got your name," Kurai stated, readying himself. "It'd be a shame to kill you without at least knowing who you are."
"Kill me huh?" the Bount snorted. "My name's Yoshi. But I'm only telling you so that you know the name of the person who killed you."
Kurai sprinted forward, slashing at her and she blocked it with her fan, driving the sword into the ground then jumping up, smashing both feet into his chest. He staggered backward then spun back around, ducking under her sword and driving Haruko at her. The fan opened, blocking the blade and Kurai spun past Yoshi, smashing his knee into her back. Yoshi spun, slashing at him and he blocked it then held out two fingers.
"Hado Four, Byakurai!" Kurai grinned, the spell blasting a gaping hole in her abdomen and launching her away.
Electricity raced over her body as she rolled to a stop. Finally she collided with a wall and stopped. Then, reishi began to seep out of everything around her, being absorbed into her body instantly as she pushed herself to her feet, gripping her sword so hard it shook as her face, which usually betrayed only excitement during their fights, showed only rage.
"You little bastard," Yoshi snarled. "You can use them at full power can't you? Well, I guess I won't be letting you hit me with that again will I?"
As she spoke, armor spread from her sword to her torso, covering the right side before she moved her arm upward, a trail of several glowing afterimages of the sword appeared, a glowing diamond between each. Kurai smirked, readying himself.
"Am I supposed to be distracted by the afterimage?" Kurai smirked. "Sorry, not impressed."
He sprinted forward, slashing at her and she swung her sword upward, the real sword passing under his which slipped between the first diamond and the next blade. The moment the blade met his, sparks flew and his sword was dragged sideways. At the same time, she swung her sword around and down. Kurai leapt back, taking Haruko with him, the chain of clearly real blades tearing a gash in his stomach as he did.
"Fuck," Kurai growled. "Real? Fine. Hado Seventy Three, Soren Sokatsui!"
He fired a massive blast at Yoshi. An explosion filled the street and then faded, the dust beginning to settle and leaving her standing at the end of a set of drag marks at least fifty feet long with a massive circular shield in front of her. She moved it, the shield held in her left hand, her left side now sporting armor while her right did not, also missing the sword. He realized that she hadn't had her fan when she had the glowing sword chain either and smirked.
"So, offense or defense, not both," Kurai grinned. "And I'm guessing there's a delay as you switch too. That will make things interesting."
The shield collapsed into a much bigger fan before glowing, the armor receding and the chain and sword growing back out of the fan as she glared at him.
"You figured it out fast," Yoshi stated. "However, I'm done playing around. It's my turn to attack."
The sword glowed, the right side of her body gaining its armor back as she darted forward, much faster than Kurai had expected. Before he could react, the swords tore into his abdomen in a horizontal slash. Then, they carved upward in the other direction in a horizontal strike from his right hip to his left shoulder. He had managed to stumble backward, saving himself from his heart being damaged but she was far from done. She stepped past him, sword carving a deep gash in his left side as she did before she spun, the swords spreading around her in a circle and beginning to tear into him like a saw blade. Him spinning after her was the only thing that stopped her from severing his spinal cord and ending him right there. He staggered backward again, dropping Haruko. Just as she blurred forward again, a bolt of blue lightning blasted her in the back launching her past him and into a building, Rukia running over.
"Are you okay?" Rukia asked.
"Do I fucking look okay?" Kurai snapped. "Let's just get this over with. Bakudo One, Sai!"
Yoshi's arms snapped around behind her, freezing in place and she shouted in rage. Rukia began to chant just as Yoshi's arms broke apart and she blurred forward. Kurai stepped forward, Slashing at her but she easily slashed him aside before twirling her sword and slashing at Rukia.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura," a familiar voice spoke just before Yoshi screamed, blood spraying out of her in a dozen places.
At the same time, Kenpachi appeared, blocking her sword chained as it flew past her and at Rukia.
"That was a close call Byakuya," Kenpachi spoke up. "You getting slower?"
"You're both late," Kurai grunted, pushing himself up, supporting himself against the wall as Yachiru ran over.
"Are you okay Daisy?" Yachiru asked.
"Daisy huh?" Kurai asked grinning. "Not the worst nickname I guess. I'll be okay."
He pulled out one of the two syringes Nemu had gotten him and injected it into his arm. His entire body burned for several seconds before his wounds hissed and steamed, resealing themselves. Then, he stood up and retrieved Haruko.
"Rukia!" Ukitake's lieutenant shouted as he, the co-lieutenant, and a very large amount of their subordinates ran over, Ichigo and Orihime arriving from the other side.
Just then, Yoshi leapt to the roof of a building beside them then leapt away as explosions began going off in the Seireitei.
"What..." Kurai trailed off.
"We have to go, now!" Ukitake's lieutenants both shouted.
Kurai was going to run after them but hesitated then sighed, putting Haruko back in her sheath. Then he looked around.
"Guess we keep looking for now," Kurai sighed. "Rukia, you going to be okay?"
"I'll be fine," Rukia stated. "Go kill Kariya. That way we can all go home."
Kurai nodded and turned, leaving.
