Chapter 45- Two big plots

Cave

"we're almost there" Hikaru said to the captains, "only 7 more people to find"

"we have something more pressing" Toshiro said

"what are you talking about?" Ichigo asked

"how are they finding our comrades" Shunsui explained to him

"it is not a problem we just need to get to them before they do" Hikaru told everyone, "and we need to get moving on that front"

"I hate to say it but Hikaru is right" Mayuri spoke up, "we can't sit around worrying over what we don't know about the enemy especially when time is of the essence"

"so Sajin what location did you get?" Ichigo asked

"60 east" the wolf man told them

"good let's go Ichigo" the two got up and left the cave

The two travelled all the way to 60th district east and found only rubble, "there is nothing here, they must have gotten whoever was here" Ichigo said after they went over it for the second time

"if we can fin…." Hikaru stopped and sped forwards like he knew where to go

"hey wait up" Ichigo shouted as he tried to keep up

Hikaru stopped in front of a house in a burned down village, that captain walked in and started to look through the items, "why are we here?" Ichigo asked as he helped Hikaru

"don't you feel the spiritual pressure Shuhei was here and if I know him he wouldn't just leave us empty handed annnnnnnnnnnd" Hikaru held up Shuhei's zanpakuto

"it's his zanpakuto so what" Ichigo failed to see what Hikaru could

"it was not drawn so he must have had a good reason not to" Hikaru explained

"they snuck in and kidnapped him, he didn't have time to" Ichigo told Hikaru

"no they destroyed this village so Shuhei would have fought them but why not with his sword" Hikaru drew the sword and a piece of paper came out of the sheath and Hikaru picked it up, "it says 18 west, I guess we have a long trip"

Seireitei

Momo sat in front of all her captains as she gave them a speech, "most of you have failed me and I know some of you will fail me, so to go after this new traitor we found I'm sending Sachiko"

"really captain" she started to jump up and down with excitement, "I won't fail"

"you're all dismissed" Momo let all the captains out but ordered Izumi to stay behind

"what is it?" Izumi asked

"I want you to make sure Sachiko stays on task, you know what she is like" Momo told her

"yes head captain"

18 west

The two ran as fast as they could to 18th district and managed to get there in two days, "finally here" Ichigo said as they stopped outside a small village

"I didn't expect anyone to get here before me but all the men I met were always so fast" the two turned to see a busty black head wearing a captains coat

"and who are you?" Hikaru asked

"Sachiko Riko captain of squad 6" she introduced herself

"Ichigo go find whoever is here" Hikaru ordered

"aww don't send him away I like taking two guys at once"

"you'll find I'm more than enough of a challenge" Hikaru drew his zanpakuto, "what the hell are you still doing Ichigo?" he asked the stationary captain

"I'm not going I have a bad feeling about her" he told Hikaru as he raised Zangetsu

"ok we'll fight together"

Ichigo shunpo'ed right in front of her and brought Zangetsu down on her head, when the dust cleared Ichigo's chest exploded with blood and he collapsed, "you were too easy" Sachiko said as she appeared next to Ichigo

"well I'm not as easy as he is"

"we'll see" Sachiko charged and started slashing at Hikaru

Hikaru dodged her sword then it connected with his shoulder to no effect, he kicked her in the stomach, pushing her back, "so you like it rough, so do I" she said regaining her composer

"you can't cut me so let's end this" Hikaru shunpo'ed behind her and cut across her back then he shunpo'ed in front of her and ran her through

"utsusemi" Sachiko disappeared, leaving her coat behind, then reappeared next to Hikaru and blew some powder in his face, Hikaru fell to his knees as Sachiko laughed over him, "men are all so easy"

"is it true you are the captain of squad 6?" Sachiko looked behind her to see Byakuya standing there with his emotionless face

"yes and who are you?" she asked

"you have disgraced the name of the 6th squad and I cannot stand for that " Byakuya drew his sword

"and what are yo…" Byakuya disappeared and reappeared behind Sachiko, blood exploded from Sachiko's stomach, "so you have some skill but no man has ever defeated me"

"that is about to change" Byakuya turned to attack when Sachiko dropped to the ground out cold, Hikaru stood over her with a syringe in his hand, "I thought she had incapacitated you"

"no I made it seem like she had, I'm immune to most poisons and hallucinogens" Hikaru explained, "now what location did you get?"

"53 south" Byakuya told him, "what are you going to do?"

"I'm going there and you'll take Ichigo here" Hikaru handed him the location of everyone else

53 south

It took Hikaru three days to get to the district and made his way to a forest outside the biggest settlement in the district, "ok you can come out now" Hikaru shouted in to the trees

"when did you know?" Izumi appeared in front of the captain

"I've known since the fight with Sachiko, I think I was the only one who noticed"

"so why are you calling me out now?" she asked

"I need to draw out the person I'm looking for and a fight is the best way" Hikaru drew his swords and charged at Izumi

Izumi shunpo'ed out of the way before she drew her sword and the two clashed, Izumi shunpo'ed behind Hikaru but the captain blocked her strikes so she took a different approach and shunpo'ed all around him, "Bakudo number 4 Hainawa" Hikaru threw the rope at Izumi and tied her up, Hikaru shunpo'ed next to the immobilised Izumi and stabbed through the sword hand, "don't want you using this"

Hikaru let her free, "now go I don't want to kill you" he said turning his back on her

"well I do, Hado number 4 Byakurai" Izumi pointed her finger at Hikaru's back and fired, Hikaru dodged the kido and kicked Izumi in the stomach

"I know who you are and I don't like it" Hikaru turned back around, "I don't think your father would either"

"LIKE I CARE WHAT THAT BASTARD THINKS" she shouted back at him, "you lot need to take a hint and leave the Seireitei to us"

"wish I could"

"Hikaru" Renji walked in to the clearing the two were in, "what's going on here?"

"come on we need to go" Hikaru grabbed Renji and shunpo'ed away
