Natsumi watched as her husband and her old friend fought. Kyo… what happened to you? You use to be so different. You use to be so caring about the kids we lived with. She watched as Ichigo and Byakuya both tried to slice through Kyo. She hated that he was in danger, because all she could see was her old friend…. Her old brother.
Kyo suddenly kicked both the guys out of his way. He turned towards her. "Let's go."
"NO!" Natsumi watched as Takao stepped in front of Saki and Natsumi. "You won't touch them!"
Kyo frowned. "Stay out of my way brat!" He went to hit Takao.
"No way!" Byakuya had stepped in the way and taken the hit.
"Byakuya!" Saki yelled.
"DAD!" Takao called out.
"You are cruel!" Ichigo said, suddenly in Kyo's path. "You targeted a kid!"
"Kids are a lot stronger than you think. I could have taken you on when I was a kid." Kyo smirked. "He stepped in my path, so of course I was going to attack him back."
Ichigo glared, but this time Natsumi stepped forward. "KYO!" Ichigo glanced at her, surprise on his face.
"Natsumi, you ready to come back?" Kyo smirked.
Natsumi handed Minato over to Ichigo and then moved forward, punching Kyo in the face. He fell back onto his backside staring at her in shock. "HOW DARE YOU!"
"Natsumi?"
"You use to be such a sweet guy when you were a child! You would never aim to hit a child! What happened to you?!"
"I grew up." Kyo frowned and stood up. "Now come on with us, or do I have to kill your husband just to get you to come along?"
Natsumi glared at him. "I'm not going back! And you're not going to hurt Ichigo!"
Kyo narrowed his eyes.
"Natsumi, you know this guy?" Ichigo took a step forward.
"We use to be friends…. We use to be family." Natsumi closed her eyes. "We were so close."
"That was a long time ago." Kyo brushed the dust off himself. "I'm a new person."
Natsumi narrowed her eyes. "I know that now…."
"Here." Natsumi blinked as Ichigo handed Minato to her. "I won't kill him Natsumi, but I won't let him take our son or you."
Natsumi smiled as she watched her husband move forward. "Ichigo."
"Kurosaki." Byakuya moved up next to Ichigo. "We will stop him together."
Ichigo nodded. "Stay behind us girls."
