Chapter Twenty-Four
Toshiro was shunpo-ing the fast he could which made it difficult for Rangiku to keep up with him. "Captain! Please slow down for a minute!" She called after him but he kept up his pace. He wasn't going to let Akari kill Rukia. He'd rather die then to be alive with the love of his life dead, he really would. He knew Rukia wouldn't want that but she wouldn't want him to suffer either. Akari wouldn't take Rukia away from him. Rukia wouldn't die. He wouldn't let her. Toshiro didn't stop until he reached the Gates to the Seireitei and felt a spike in Rukia's reiatsu. He got a bit more worried and quickly started toward Rukia, even though every step he took it got harder and harder to move. He knew she was fighting Akari and he could tell how intense the battle was. A Kusajishi man stood in his way and he pulled out his Zanpakuto. "Wait, Captain!" Rangiku rushed up and looked at him,"I'll take care of him. You need to go and find Rukia"
Toshiro looked at his Lieutenant,"Are you sure?"
"Yes, now go!"
Toshiro nodded and continued on toward the fierce battle up ahead of first person he was Lieutenant Abarai. He looked at him,"Abarai, what's going?" Renji just pointed toward the two girls in response. Toshiro's eyes followed Renji's finger. He watched Rukia cut Akari one good time and let blood splatter on the ground, leaving a large gash in her shoulder.
"I told you" Rukia started,"My killing intent is higher then yours" She took a battle stance,"I won't die because if I do Toshiro will never forgive me and Byakuya will be disappointed in me.. For being killed by such an average enemy"
"What did you call me? How dare you compare me to those Hollow scum! I'm far stronger and tactful then those stumbling idiots"
"You say that but you're not proving that to me"
"Why, you little noble brat!" Akari charged at Rukia who dodged and kicked Akari in the center of her back. Akari fell to the floor but forced herself back to her feet. A few of the Kusajishi men ran over and watched the two spar for a moment befire speaking.
"Ms. Erieen! Do you need help?"
"Erieen? You're using an alias now?"
"Of course! I must! If I used my real name they'd sell me out quicker then you could blink" Akahana stated, she looekd at the men,"Find someone else to fight! She's mine!" She tried once more to charge Rukia and the two clashed for a while. Their swords hitting each other constantly. She's gotten much better since Akio and Akimitsu died Akari thought, but no matter. I will still kill her and make Toshiro Hitsugaya and Byakuya Kuchiki suffer! Just like how I've been suffering alone in this miserable place!
The two continued on with this. Rukia caught a glimpse of Toshiro and Renji in their own was fighting off a Kusajishi man quite easily. He wasn't trying to hurt him, which made fighting difficult but he still managed. He was a captain, disadvantages didn't falter him in the slightest and if it did, you couldn't notice. Renji, on the other hand, was annoyed with his challenger. They were both trash talking which didn't suprise any of us in the least. This was all going to end here and now, what other choice could there be? It was time to stop the rebellion.
