Chapter Twenty-Three
Rukia sat in the Kuchiki Manor with Renji. She wasn't to be left alone that was an order from Toshiro and Byakuya. The two of them were joking and laughing but also having serious conversastions everynow and again. The two of them were just about to start discussing Akari Akahana when a messenger rushed over to the two of them. "Lieutenant Abarai. Lieutentant Kuchiki. There are some trouble outside one of the gates! Akahana and an army of Kusajishi men!"
Rukia got up quickly and looked at the messenger,"Thank you. You may leave now" She stalked into the house quickly and found her Hell Butterfly. "Tell Toshiro that she's here and he must hurry back. She avoided the main streets to get here. Please hurry and give him this message, no time should be wasted!" She let her Hell Butterfly fly from her finger. She turned back toward Renji and looked at him carefully,"We need to get to our divisions and fend off that army" Renji nodded and the two of them left.

Toshiro continued walking. A Hell Butterfly handed on his nose, which he hated. This happened all the time and it was annyoing! He tried to wave it away but it refused to move from his face until Rangiku put her finger by it and it landed on her finger. She looked at the butterfly shocked then at her Captain. "She's already with the army trying to break into the Seireitei!"
"What?" Toshiro's eyes widened a bit,"We have to get back there, now!"
Rangiku and Toshiro nodded, rushing back to their friend and comrads' aid. This is going to end right now! Toshiro hissed in his head as he start shunpo-ing back to the Seireitei. I won't let anyone hurt Rukia for the rest of this eternal life! No one will lay a finger on her as long as I'm here to protect her, I gurantee that! No one can even think of the damage I'll do if anyone does!

Rukia looked at Renji as they were walking before stopping and sighing. "Renji? Do you think that I should stop being a Soul Reaper and go back to Hanging Dog?"
Renji looked at her,"Are you kidding? Of course not!"
"Good" Rukia smirked,"Because I plan to eliminate evil for the rest of my eternal life"
Renji smiled a bit,"That's good!"
"Well, well, well. What would happen Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya saw the two of you looking all smiley and happy in the time of panic?"
"I don't know, Akari Akahana, why don't you tell me?" Rukia said with an annoyed tone.
"He'd say, 'You should be worried because there's someone trying to kill you'" Akari jumped off from the building she was sitting on,"He'd say,'You should stay somewhere, where you won't be found and conceal you Spirit Energy'" She stepped closer to Rukia with every word.
Rukia pulled out Sode no Shirayuki and swung it at Akari when she was just close enough to almost get cut. "Wow, someone has a high intent to kill, but you're not the only one. I have a high if not higher intent to kill"
"Really? Let's test that out then shall we?"
