(OH YERR THAT'S RIGHT, IMA BACK! Be happy, pplz. Be very happy. I'll give my extremely long explanation on why I was gone at the end of this seriously crappy chappy. Btw, I couldn't remember how Halibel fights, so don't blame me if I got it wrong ;D happy reading!)
We - Ulquiorra-sama, Grimmjow, Superman and I - peered over the edge of Las Noches to see the Shinigami and Hollows clashing swords. The Shinigami had moved outside Las Noches after we'd fled the building through Aizen's secret passage.
One battle I found particularly interesting was Rukia's fight against Halibel;
"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki," Rukia spoke as she held her Zanpakuto out in front of her and turned it in a circle counter-clockwise. While she turned it, the blade, hilt and tsuba became completely white. The tsuba changed into a hollow snowflake-like circle and a white ribbon formed from the pommel.
"What pathetic Zanpakuto is that?" Halibel questioned.
"I'll have you know that my Zanpakuto is one of the most beautiful Zanpakutos in the Soul Society," Rukia retorted.
"They must have really low standards," she continued teasing, I knew she was secretly smirking to herself underneath that collar.
She twitched."Tsugi no mai, hakuren." Rukia stabbed her sword into the ground once, creating a large ice circle, she then pierced the ground four more times in a semi circle in front of her. She took a battle stance as the ice particles began to flow up from the holes she had created in the ground. The particles built up at the tip of Sode no Shirayuki before being released as a large, powerful avalanche of cold air. It flash froze whatever it came into contact with, encasing it in ice. Halibel was out of range to be turned into one of those sad little ice-statues, unlike the poor, unfortunate Hollow-lizards.
"That's all you've got?" Halibel raised an eyebrow, now a short distance away from the area effected.
"Some no mai, tsukishiro!" she called out whilst holding her ZanpakutÅ upside down. The blade lit up with a luminous glow as she then made a slashing motion with her sword. After she did that, she drew a circle with the tip of Sode no Shirayuki, the space within the circle on the grounds froze. Another second later and a giant pillar of ice was standing in Halibel's place.
"I guess I'll have to show you what a proper Zanpakuto looks like." Halibel hooked her finger in one of the holes on her sword and pulled it out of its sheath, it spun in mid-air before she caught it skillfully by the hilt. "Tell me your name, Shinigami."
"I am Rukia Kuchiki of the thirteen Court Guard Squads!" she answered.
"I am Tia Halibel, Tres Espada." Halibel pulled her sword back as it gathered yellow spiritual energy within the hollow portion of her blade. "Ola Azul." She then launched it towards her opponent in the form of an energy blade projectile.
Rukia's eyes widened in shock as the shot rocketed toward her at immense speed. Just enough time was given for her to flashstep out of the way. Although she did flashstep in time, the large projectile still successfully cut through the edge of her arm, making a small gateway for the blood to seep out.
"You bastard..." she spat.
Halibel dove down at Rukia, blade in hand. She attempted a powerful slash with the blade, but Rukia blocked it with her own. She pressed down harder, Rukia holding her ground. Halibel suddenly sonido'd a few feet away, shocking Rukia. She repeated the 'Ola Azul' move swiftly. Rukia saw it coming, so she flashstepped out of the way.
"Some no mai, tsukishiro!"
The ice pillar rose up where Halibel stood. She sonido'd outside of its area of effect again, failing to be caught in the ice. No sooner was the pillar created, it was shattered by yet another 'Ola Azul' that came charging through it, cutting through Rukia's unharmed arm sharply.
She groaned in pain, holding her bloodied arm in agony.
Normally, I would try to stop these fights, but... The Shinigami will win, won't they? And they wouldn't kill their opponents completely... But if the Espada die... That's good too, right? And I can go home... But... No, they can't die... It's... I... I'm... I'm so confused...
I fell to my knees, holding my head in pain and confusion, tears brimming on the edge of my bright blue eyes.
"Hm? Chie-chan, what's wrong?" Szayel asked, seemingly concerned as he stepped over to me and wrapped an arm around my small figure.
"I can't let this happen..." I mumbled.
"You were a Substitute Shinigami, were you not?" Szayel inquired. I nodded weakly. "Ah..."
"Can't we just let them have Orihime?" I questioned.
"Unfortunately, not until Aizen-sama is finished with her," he frowned. "Come here, you don't need to watch this."
"No," I stayed put as he attempted to bring me to my feet. "I need to know who lives."
As I attempted to resume watching the battle between Rukia and Halibel, I got caught up in the blueness of the orbs that, if I remember correctly, belonged to Uryu Ishida. The pity and sorrow that I was trying to hide instantly flooded to my eyes. I saw him mumble my name quietly before rushing into the building. We were never that close, he found me annoying and I found him boring. But in a strange way, we got along.
"Come, Orihime," Aizen spoke. My head snapped towards the source of the voice. Ulquiorra-sama instinctively followed his leader, dragging Orihime along with him so that Super-dude wouldn't have to.
No sooner did they begin walking, Uryu and Ichigo were standing in front of them.
"Orihime!" they shouted in unison.
A muffled shout which I shall assume means, "Uryu, Ichigo!" left her mouth.
"You..." Ichigo began. "You'll pay for this!"
(Okeledokelie. I assume you want a very very good reason for why I disappeared, yah? WELL. I was bad so I lost my computer AND my iPod. I got my comp back like two weeks ago but is blocked on it and my iPod has UA on it, compy doesn't. I was hardly gonna start this chappy again from scratch.
Oh, on the 11th this month, IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY! YEEAH, HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY TO MEEEE! XD lol. I got series 1 of Naruto on DVD, all three Hunger Games books (only read the first before I got those... Also seen the movie), some other stuff, but best of all, MY TABLET! It's a Trust Slimline Widescreen tablet, and it's sooooo prettyyyy ;3 Yumichika would approve. Then again, he'd probably approve of Justin Bieber, and worship him like a god or something.
Anyhowwww. Sorry for the crappy chappy. But I am improving! I promise I am! I wrote the prologue for the second book and it's reaaaally long and pretty good ;D yeah, I skip things. It's how I get over writers block; I write something else whilst waiting for inspiration.
Also, Kelly Clarkson's Stronger (Deluxe Edition) album is AWESOME. It wins my no.1 album spot this summer, overtaking Skillet's Comatose and Thousand Foot Krutch's The End Is Where We Begin albums! Lol ;3 anyhow, this is getting long, so, byebye.)
