-:-

A desk was flung across the room, Ikkaku and Yumichika standing off to the side while Yachiru stood in the middle of the room, a sad look on her face. Kenpachi was breathing heavily, his eyes wide with rage as he lifted his chair and threw it across the room, watching it smash against the wall. He slammed his fist against the wall, his eyes narrowed dangerously and his upper lip curled.

"She was fucking right in front of me!" Kenpachi roared, walking across and kicking the couch out of rage. "An arm's length away and that bastard took her back with him!" He yelled, his reiatsu dangerously high.

Ikkaku and Yumichika frowned slightly. They've never seen him act like this over one woman before. It felt strange. His office was a mess, almost the whole division was scared to go near him, and Yachiru even kept her distance. They didn't want to see how his house looked. They watched as he stomped around the office, kicking anything that was still in one piece, punching the walls, yelling loudly.

Kenpachi was furious!

She was so close and he couldn't even save her!

He cursed loudly, heading for the door and sliding it open and leaving it as it was while he stomped down the hallways. When people were heading his way, they would take one look at him, quickly turn and high tail it out of there. They stayed there long enough to know when to give their Captain space. And by space, they meant with them on the other side of the Seireitei.

Kenpachi didn't give a damn who he saw, he just grabbed the grip of his sword and the person would be out of there in a matter of seconds.

What pissed him off more was that there was a meeting. Why couldn't they just go get Shun and her friend? Why the hell were they just staying there? Fuck! Everything was making him furious!

And the Seireitei looked messed up, half his men were in the fourth division, and he was about to kill someone! Those former Espada regained their memories sometime, but he didn't give a damn about that. He wanted to know what the hell that arrancar was doing to his woman!

He paused and narrowed his eyes.

Oh, right. He scoffed. She wasn't his woman anymore. His reiatsu started rising with his anger, imagining that woman's smirking face. He clenched his hands tightly and curled his upper lip. If she was in front of him, he'll... he'll...

He sighed and continued to stomp down the street, his eyes narrowed.

Ah, he'd fucking yell at her and demand her to forgive him.

He stopped and looked around the area.

What fueled his anger... was that he was now lost.

He let out a roar and a curse, people running when they heard his voice and felt his reiatsu. He kicked down a wall, his eyes wide with rage, walking through and looking down the street, hands clenched.

Where was Yachiru?

Byakuya walked down the street, his eyes narrowed and emotionless, his arms by his sides as he walked by people he didn't even give a second glance. Dark circles were under his eyes once more, breathing calmly.

He couldn't sleep all night.

He walked through his estate, he drank tea, he even went to his office and did paperwork, but he couldn't even sleep through all that. All this stress was too much for him.

He was bandaged, just like all the other Captains except for the Head Captain.

That arrancar was trouble. Not only had he completely taken the Soul Society by surprise, he even managed to wound some of the top people in the Gotei thirteen.

He curled his hands into fists, narrowing his eyes, his mouth in a tight line.

Rio's face passed through his mind, seeing her laying on the ground while it rained, blood all over her body as she looked up. The sides of his mouth went downwards, his eyes hard.

He couldn't protect her.

He couldn't prevent that arrancar from taking her.

He couldn't do a single thing.

He turned around the corner, seeing people stare at him before bowing as he walked by. He felt cold all night. He felt thirsty. He just wanted to sleep, but at the same time he couldn't. He just wanted to see Rio, safe.

He closed his eyes, making it towards the first division to make it to the meeting. Once he felt two reiatsu heading the same way he was going he opened his eyes slightly, seeing Hitsugaya and his subordinate.

When he glanced at the woman, he saw her head lowered and her hair covering his eyes. There were uneven strands in her hair, probably due to the fight. He closed his eyes once more and kept walking.

Hitsugaya glanced at Yuri, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, a bandage on her face, most of her body bandaged under her robes. He was almost in the same condition. She hadn't spoken one word since her friends were taken from her once again.

After she was healed in the fourth division she went to her room and hadn't come out since until he told her they had a meeting. She didn't say a word when she got up and followed him.

He was worried about her.

But what could he say?

Your friends are all right?

He wanted to scoff at himself. Of course they weren't. They were with an arrancar that abused them even when they were down. He could only imagine the pain they were going through now.

He heard a noise and glanced back, seeing Kenpachi stomp into the hall, his hands clenched tightly by his sides. He moved to the side when he walked by, amazed he was on time without the help of his lieutenant. He turned his head, seeing Yuri continue to walk ahead. He closed his eyes and sighed, walking forward.

Everyone was in the meeting hall, the only person who wasn't a Captain bowing in front of everyone, all standing in their respected places as they waited for the Head Captain. Kenpachi looked outright pissed. Byakuya looked scary. Hitsugaya looked troubled. Ichigo was in the same position as Kenpachi.

Hell, everyone was frustrated.

Not only were they blindsided by an arrancar, they still couldn't get back the two shinigami they lost.

They all turned their heads when the Head Captain entered, seeing him walk towards his chair as they stayed quiet. But when he sat down they all started yelling and demanding they go to Hueco Mundo to retrieve the two women.

"Quiet!" Kurotsuchi snapped, glaring at anyone that refused to do so. "I have been looking through that disk that arrancar left behind and found something interesting involving those two women he took."

Yuri looked up and through her hair, staring at the Captain.

That's when everyone went quiet, staring at the Captain hard, all silently demanding him to tell them what he found. He rolled his eyes and walked over to stand next to the Head Captain, lifting a finger at the same time a hologram appeared in the middle of the room.

"Apparently, that arrancar has already figured their fighting styles, their relationships with everyone they ever met, how strong they are, how tall they are. To put short, he knows everything about them." Kurotsuchi said, seeing two bodies in the hologram.

They both stood straight, side by side, a spark of anger showing in Shun's eyes while a smile was on Rio's. Yuri looked up, staring at the two, dark circles under her eyes.

It then showed Shun fighting with a wide grin on her face, one scene and then moving onto another, all of them showing her fight. Rio was next, fighting with a serious look on her face, scenes going from one to another. Everyone watched, seeing them fight with people they've never seen before, people from their divisions, and even with each other.

"He has even given us the pleasure of that video he says he recorded when he had taken Shun Masuyo's ability away from her." Kurotsuchi said, the scenes with both women disappearing and showing Las Noches, inside the dome.

Everyone watched, their eyes hard, seeing the arrancar holding Rio close to him on top a pillar, Shun standing on the sand and giving him a dark look, her eyes wide with rage.

-:-

Katsu smiled, staring at the black haired woman, the arrancar and both shinigami in the dome of Las Noches. He narrowed his eyes, holding Rio close to him, seeing Shun standing on the ground while he stood on a pillar, seeing her holding her sword tightly as she glared at him.

"Come now, Shun Masuyo." Katsu said, delicately raising an eyebrow with a chuckle. "You can't expect to go on like this forever, do you?"

Shun curled her upper lip and clutched her sword tightly, glaring at the man. The arrancar narrowed his eyes with a wide smile on his face, Rio unable to move, her eyes wide as he held her. It wasn't that she didn't want to move. She just couldn't. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lift her arms.

"Come on." Katsu said, narrowing his eyes with a smile.

Shun frowned and raised an eyebrow, frowning deeply, her legs bent and her hands clenched.

"I just want to see that form again."

The arrancar delicately raised an eyebrow, a wide smile across his face, staring down at the woman as she gazed up at him with confusion written all over her face, seeing her take a step forward.

"Or... are you only able to change when you are so angry... you can't control yourself?" Katsu asked, chuckling as the woman stared at him indifferently.

"Let. Rio. Go."

The arrancar narrowed his eyes with a smile, lifting Rio's head, hearing her gasp. Shun narrowed her eyes dangerously, wondering what the hell he was doing. Lowering his head, the arrancar's tongue made a trail from Rio's jaw to her collar bone.

Shun flinched.

Rio closed her eyes as tears rolled down her face, clenching her hands. Katsu stood straight, seeing Shun shaking in anger, her expression dark, making a wide smile cross his face when he felt her reiatsu start to rise. He released the woman, seeing the woman run away and glare at him. The arrancar paid her no mind.

He kept his gaze on the woman on the ground, a wide smile on his face.

"You are truly an interesting specimen, Shun Masuyo." Katsu stated, seeing the woman's eyes turn white and throw her head back with a roar.

He stayed put while Rio fell to her knees with her eyes wide, gasping and putting a hand to her chest. Katsu gazed on the woman on the ground, seeing her stare at him and grin savagely. He smirked with his arms behind his back, gazing at the woman, seeing her throw her sword to the side and getting ready.

He muttered something the Captains couldn't hear, seeing a large grin appear on the woman's face.

Katsu calmly looked up, seeing the woman already in front of him and jumped back when she flipped in the air and slammed her leg on the pillar. The pillar started to crack, causing Rio to widen her eyes when it crumbled and started to fall. She jumped back and widened her eyes when she fell and went towards the ground. She hit the sand and coughed, pushing herself up and turning her head, her eyes wide.

Shun ran after the arrancar, the sand flying into the air every step she took, her eyes wide with blood lust as a grin stayed plastered on her face. She quickly ran past Katsu, turning around, holding her hand up as white light gathered in her hand, making the arrancar smile.

He jumped out of the way as he fired from her hand, making Shun give a slight frown before curling her hand into a fist and shooting her fist forward at the arrancar. Katsu caught it, his smile growing when he saw the woman start grinning savagely. He marveled at the ice that formed into her attack, raising his eyebrows slightly. He was brought out of his thoughts, blocking the attacks of the woman, jumping backwards.

Shun balanced on her hands and spun around, kicking Katsu's chest and sending him skidding across the sand, making her grin widely. When he jumped back she snickered, which made Katsu tilt his head.

"A completely different personality."

She threw her head back and gave a loud roar, which led Rio to cover her ears and close her eyes tightly, the pressure on her shoulders doubling. She snapped her eyes wide open when she heard loud explosions, looking up, seeing sand flying everywhere, unable to see anything. She widened her eyes when Shun went flying and crashed several times on the ground. She quickly turned her head, seeing the woman push herself up, still grinning widely.

She felt her blood go cold and turned her head, seeing Katsu walk calmly out the smoke and sand, a smile still on his face.

Her eyes were abnormally wide.

He sent Shun flying through the air without even trying? She turned her head when she felt wind hit her face, seeing Shun come running by, turning her head and seeing Katsu smile before turning and running away from the woman.

Shun's legs and hands hit the ground many times, but she had yet to hit the arrancar, sand flying into the air.

The air started getting more cold around her, narrowing her eyes as irritation showed on her face. Katsu saw the look and smiled, seeing her hold both her hands up as light started gathering in her palms. Before she could fire them, Katsu was beside her, making her eyes wide when he punched her side, sending her flying and hitting the walls, crashing into a pillar.

Rio couldn't move.

The sudden rise in reiatsu sent her to her knees.

She watched as Shun ran and attacked the arrancar over and over again, her eyes wide. Shun pushed herself up and shook her head, her eyes narrowed and her teeth clenched tightly, her upper lip curled. She stood up, bending her knees, starting to grin once more.

Katsu stared at her calmly, reaching into his pocket.

She kicked off the sand, sending a lot of sand into the air, and started running towards the arrancar at an amazing speed, making Rio widen her eyes at how fast she was running. She jumped off the ground and pulled her fist back, grinning widely, about to hit the arrancar...

But then he pulled out a small metal box and opened it.

Shun suddenly stopped in midair, her eyes wide, her body twitching. Reiatsu was being sucked into the box, Katsu's smile growing and narrowing his eyes, watching as the woman's body started glowing white. Two bodies separated.

Rio widened her eyes.

"...What...?"

One body was completely white, made of reiatsu, while the other was Shun, her eyes wide and her orbs showing once more, both still in the air. She suddenly went flying back like she was hit, hitting the ground and coughing loudly, blood pouring out of her mouth, her eyes closed tightly. All the reiatsu went inside the box, Katsu closing with it was satisfied smile.

"Shun!" Rio yelled, running towards her friend with wide eyes.

Katsu turned, his arms folded behind his back, hearing the scream from the woman. He turned his head slightly and smiled, seeing Rio roll her friend over. The green eyed woman widened her eyes when she saw blood rolling off Shun's face and hitting the sand, the sand around her turning red. Rio jumped when a roll of bandages was thrown at her, staring at them and looking the arrancar.

"Heal her. I will get you two in an hour." Katsu said, turning around and walking away.

He disappeared, Rio's eyes still wide. She shook her head and started taking Shun's clothes off to heal her. That's when the screen went fuzzy.

-:-

Everyone's eyes were wide. What was that box?

And what he said was true. It didn't even take much for him to take down Shun. Yuri's eyes were wide, her hair in front of her eyes, her hands trembling. Everyone's eyes hardened, all looking at Captain of the twelfth division. Kurotsuchi stared at the hologram, everyone seeing it change to another scene.

"He even shows us when he first introduces himself."

They looked at the hologram once more, narrowing their eyes when they saw both Shun and Rio passed out, laying in a large container, the top connected to a machine. Katsu opened the door and walked in, a smile on his face and pushing his glasses up.

-:-

Shun started stirring awake, making Katsu delicately raise an eyebrow, opening her eyes before wincing. Her head hurt. She pushed herself up and rubbed her head, her eyes closed. She shook her head and winced once more, opening her eyes slightly and turning her head. She widened her eyes when she saw Rio.

"Rio." Shun muttered, shaking the woman with her eyebrows drawn together. "Rio. Rio, dammit! Wake up!"

"She will wake in several moments."

Shun widened her eyes and turned her head, her upper lip curled, staring at the arrancar. He stared back at her with a smile, narrowing his eyes. She narrowed her eyes. Who was this? Where the hell were they? She stood up and glared at the arrancar, hearing him chuckle.

"That's a scary look you have." Katsu commented, a smile gracing his lips. "I bet you strike fear into a lot of people, no?"

"Who are you?" Shun asked, clenching her hands.

"My name... is Katsu Shichirou." He said, bowing low to the woman as he crossed an arm over his chest.

"Why the hell are we here? Where is this place?" Shun asked, hitting the glass, snorting when it didn't break under her attack. "And from that thing on your head... I'm guessing you're a hollow."

"Arrancar, to be more precise." Katsu said, pushing up his glasses. "It is true what they wrote about you in the academy. You cannot tell the difference between a hollow or arrancar, can you?"

Shun's expression went dark, wrinkling her nose and clenching her teeth together. She blinked when she heard a groan and turned her head slightly, seeing Rio push herself up and shake her head. The green eyed woman opened her eyes and closed them a second later at the bright light, blinking her eyes several times to clear her vision. When her vision did clear she looked around the room, seeing machines everywhere and furrowing her eyebrows. She turned her head and blinked when she saw Shun.

"Shun...? Where-"

"I don't know, but I'm guessing that arrancar has something to do with it." Shun said, turning her gaze back to the arrancar, her glare intensifying.

Rio turned her head, immediately standing up as her eyes went dark after seeing the arrancar in the room. Katsu looked between them and smiled, closing his eyes and shrugging his shoulders lightly. He turned, walking towards a machine with all kinds of knobs and buttons. Both Shun and Rio narrowed their eyes as he moved, keeping their eyes on him.

"You know, Shun Masuyo, Rio Sachiko... I happen to really like cute people." Katsu said, his back facing them.

Shun and Rio frowned in confusion, glancing at each other for a moment before putting all their attention on the arrancar once more. He tilted his head and turned, raising his hand above a button and glancing at the women, his smile growing.

"And when I see a cute person... I want to keep that person." Katsu said darkly, narrowing his eyes.

Both women narrowed their eyes, confusion showing on their faces, both wondering what the arrancar was talking about. Katsu smiled and narrowed his eyes. Shun slowly started widening her eyes and took a step forward.

"You're talking about Yuri!" Shun growled, her eyes wide with rage.

Katsu chuckled. "Correct." He said, pushing the button.

Something shot from the top of the container, hitting both women, both widening their eyes and letting out ear piercing screams, white lightening hitting them, pain coursing through their bodies. Katsu walked around the machine, walking for the container, not even batting an eyelash at the screaming. He walked until he was in front of the glass, raising his hand and putting a finger on it.

The lightening turned red, both Shun and Rio's eyes turning completely red, letting out louder screams.

Katsu narrowed his eyes as his smile grew, removing his finger from the glass. As soon as his finger stopped touching the surface, the lightening disappeared, both women falling down, panting heavily. The arrancar bent forward and gave them a smile.

"I recommend you stay here." Katsu said, closing his eyes as he chuckled. "If you try to escape, you will be severely punished."

"W-Why..." Rio muttered, her vision blurry.

"Why? Why am I doing this, you are asking?" Katsu asked, raising his eyebrows as his expression brightened. "It is quite simple, actually. You see, your friend, Shun Masuyo... had killed my master." He said, bending down and narrowing his eyes.

Shun scoffed.

"I killed a lot of people in my life, arrancar. Who the hell are you talking about?" Shun asked, trying to push herself up.

"Hikaru Toriyama."

Both Shun and Rio widened their eyes, hearing the arrancar chuckle darkly. He stood up and nodded to them, telling them he would tell them why he was doing all this exactly, turning around and walking away. Shun and Rio stared after him, panting heavily. They fell forward, unconscious.

-:-

Everyone has started yelling at the Head Captain, demanding that he let them go to Hueco Mundo to get the two women, Yuri's eyes wide all the while, staring at the ground. The Head Captain had refused again, saying that the arrancar was too powerful, and considering how smart he was, he couldn't take the risk of sending someone to Hueco Mundo.

He also told them it took quite a while to open a garganta.

Yuri stood up when everyone was dismissed, feeling anger course through her when they had yet to go rescue her friends. She turned, about to leave, when she felt Hitsugaya's hand on her shoulder.

"Yur-"

She knocked his hand away, making him blink, and turned her head to give him a glare, making him widen his eyes slightly.

"Shun and Rio did a lot of things."

Everyone stopped walking, all having frustrated looks on their faces, staring at the woman when they heard her whisper. Kenpachi and Byakuya stopped when they heard the names, staring at the woman.

"They helped everyone here." Yuri said, her shoulders shaking, her eyes narrowed. "Even though you all saw the way that arrancar beat them, how hard he hit them, you still refuse to do anything about it." She said, her eyebrows pulled together.

Everyone stared at her, the Head Captain knowing she was talking about him.

"And you all... they..." Yuri's eyes hardened. "You're all weak."

Everyone stared at her with hard looks, seeing the woman clench her hands tightly, her expression dark. Ichigo stared at the woman sadly. He's never seen Yuri look so enraged before. She glared at them before turning and running down the hall, angry tears running down her face.

She hated them!

Jiro had tried talking to her outside the division compound, but she brushed him off, her eyes still wide and glassy as she stared at the ground.

That night she sat in front of her mirror, looking at her hair. It reached her shoulder blades, but now most of her hair was uneven from her fight. Bandages covered her body. She looked at the scissors in her hand and grabbed a strand of hair, her eyebrows furrowed.

Shun and Rio were in Hueco Mundo, with that arrancar.

Her eyes welled up with tears, cutting the strand of hair, letting it go and watching it fall.

She was too weak to save them.

She was too weak to even stop that arrancar from taking them.

Her shoulders shook as she cut her hair, tears running down her face. She rested her hands on her lap, whimpering as she closed her eyes tightly. Shun and Rio were the only people in her life that stayed by her for a long time.

Can she really... just attack them?

Review? Was it good? Bad? Horrible? D:

I have a peanut butter and jam sandwich. :D
