A/N: Inspired by the latest chapters and a little forum talk…
Please release my hand, but not my heart
"The two of us…
…are one…
When other Hollows evolved in to Arrancars, they split they power between they bodies and theirs swords. But we split in to two bodies. When we become one again…
…our full power is released.
Kick, Los Lobos!"
The sky was filled with a tick white smoke is was as if suddenly new clouds would have been created or a tick wall of mist would have fallen over everything. Both Shunsui and Ukitake were starring at the twirling white for any trace of the two creatures who had become one again, but there was no trace of even the slightest movement. It was as if the Primera had disappeared, but then something rose, a black shadow emerged from the pure white and suddenly the white curtain flew apart revealing the Primera Espada in his full form. Shunsui tightened his grip on both hilts of Katen Kyoukotsu this was not good, he couldn't feel the Arrancar's reiatsu pressure properly it was as if he would block him out somehow. Shunsui waited for the other to attack and when he raised his larger gun, head still bowed down and shoot…
…but the cero which left the gun had never hit Shunsui then he wasn't the target…
The sound of a great crash filled the tense air as the ice tower Hitsugaya had created with his remaining energy broke apart, the ice splinters glistered in the sunlight like falling diamonds and from in between emerged the figure of a young dark skinned woman. Toshiro who had watched this felt his breath hitch, there was no way someone could survive this long in cage of ice. Suddenly a great pain flashed through his body, Bankai breaking as crimson blood splashed around him and then his world fell black with the panicked calls of the others like a distant echo.
Shunsui saw Toshiro falling limp to the ground, but luckily he was catched in time by Kumamura who brought him to Kira for healing. Turning his eyes back he spotted the Tres Espada now standing with her back against the Primera. 'So I didn't just imagine that he was always looking at the ice tower when h thought that I wouldn't notice, but looking at her I really can't blame him for worrying.' he thought, but then his thoughts were interrupted when the female Arrancar spoke, her tone gentle, but also sorrowful as she gazed at the Captain Commander.
"Please don't interfere in any way by the next fight even if it would be my end." she said as her emerald eyes closed and her normal hand reached back.
"As you wish" Stark replied with his eyes closed, his hand taking that of the other gently in to his before both released as she charged against the older Shinigami.
Stark only stood there for a few seconds, his hand still in the same pose in which he held her hand as the wing come up again. 'I will release your hand for this one fight, but your heart will always be held tightly in my arms then you know what they say…
"Lilinette it is time that we also do something…even if I would like it better to seep in my domain for a little longer." he said in a dark tone which surprised his opponent.
"Al right Stark lets kick they buts!" called suddenly the cheerful voice of the child like Arrancar from the larger gun.
"Yes…" and with that Stark held his gun up pointing at Shunsui just when flames and water crashed together behind his back.
…Loneliness and Sacrifice go often hand in hand…"
