I do not own Bleach.
Nnoitra laughed as the two women faced him. "You think either of you are a challenge for me?!" He began laughing at them even more.
"Then what if we join?" Nanao and Lisa looked behind them. Rose and Love were walking up to them. "I'm sure two Taichou level shinigami will be more then enough for you."
"Stay out of this Love. I saw him first." Lisa glared at the two men. "Four on one isn't even going to be fun."
"Then three on one." Nanao looked past Nnoitra to see Shinji standing in front of Aizen. "I'm going to talk to Shinji."
"I'm still going to keep an eye on you." Lisa faced Nanao.
Nanao nodded at Lisa before heading off towards Shinji and Azien. She heard their battle begin shortly after she left. 'Be safe.'
She landed lightly beside Shinji. He frowned at her. "I can handle this myself."
Nanao pulled off her mask. "Bite me." She sent a glare at Aizen. 'Who's the chick beside him?'
"Aizen-sama, shall I take care of them?" The girl placed a hand on her zanpakutou.
Aizen placed a hand over hers. "Not yet." He looked over at Nanao. She seemed to have recovered from the Hogyoku extraction. "I'm surprised you can fight. Or even stand for that matter. How do you do it?"
"None of your business!" Nanao tried to figure out who the girl was, but couldn't.
"So, you've got a plan or something?" Shinji glanced at the girl beside him. He could see a bit of blood at the corner of her mouth. "Should I hold off on releasing my zanpakutou?"
"Doesn't matter. He already knows what it does." Nanao ran through the war report in her mind. There probably wasn't a single zanpakutou that Aizen didn't know the power of.
"Oh? And how would he know?" Shinji eyed the girl curiously. Did she betray them?
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't tell him. He already knew." Nanao frowned as the girl beside Aizen began to fidget. 'Has she never been in a war before?'
Aizen smiled as the two spoke to each other. "Feel free to try what ever you wish. Nothing will work."
*CRACK*
Nanao smirked as Ichigo broke through a crack behind Aizen. She launched at him once his shield activated. She was blocked by the masked girl that was beside Aizen and forced back.
Nanao picked herself up out of the rubble she had landed in. "So your Aizen's little experiment? How does it feel to be more Hollow than whole?" She launched herself at the girl again. The girl was weaker than her, but not by much.
Nanao ducked under an attack and brought her katana up. She managed to snag the end of the girl' small and rip it off. Nanao stared in horror as the girl smiled at her.
"Hi..Hinamori? What are you doing?" Nanao brought her zanpakutou in front of her again. She didn't know the girl had switched sides. She had never seen her in Los Noches.
Momo gave the girl a smile. "I'm doing what any Fukutaichou should do. I'm protecting my Taichou. He told me why he did what he did. The shinigami have become corrupt. And the only way to fix it is to be on top."
"Momo that's crazy! He was going to kill you!" Nanao took a step back as Hinamori attacked her.
"He did it to protect me. Otherwise they might have charged me with being a traitor by affiliation. He has always been protecting me!" Hinamori brought her blade down on Nanao. The woman blocked her. "And now I will protect Aizen." She pulled her mask back on over her face. She steeps bahind Nanao and attacked. She missed, but just barely.
Nanao landed away from the girl. She felt her now chin length hair tickle the back of her neck. 'Too close. Far too close.'
"I'm sorry." Nanao stopped as she felt a blade run though her stomach from her back. "Please die quickly." Momo twisted the blade and cut out of Nanao's body.
Nanao coughed as a burst of pain ran through her body. She feels her knees buckle, but doesn't feel any impact.
"I got you, Nanao-chan." Shunsui shifted Nanao into his arms so he was carrying her. "Hang in there." Shunsui saw a smile on her face as she nodded and rested her head against his chest. "How is the little traitor?"
Starrk threw the unconscious form of Aizen's latest creation over his shoulder. "Out cold."
The two men nodded as they headed towards the makeshift relief station.
Lisa caught sight of the two men as they walked up to the tent. "Where did you two go?" She saw the small girl slung over the Espada's shoulder and Shunsui holding someone. "Nanao?!" Lisa ran over to Shunsui as he set her down on a mat in the tent. "What happened?"
Shunsui said nothing as he sat himself down beside Nanao. He smiled a bit as she placed her hand over his.
"I do believe more self preservation is needed, Ise-san" Unahana sat down beside Lisa and began working on healing Nanao's more serious wounds.
Nanao laughed a bit, but stopped when it began to hurt. "I don't think my zanpakutou is helping with that."
"ATTENTION ALL!" Everyone began listening as they heard the voice of the Soutaichou. "THE TRAITOR AIZEN SOSUKE HAS FLED THE BATTLE FIELD! GIVE CHASE IMMEDIATELY! I REPEAT GIVE CHASE IMMEDIATELY!"
Nanao looked over at Shunsui. He seemed torn between going after Aizen and staying with her. "Go get him. I'm not going anywhere."
Shunsui smiled down at her. "I'll be back shortly." He got up and walked to the entrance of the tent. He stopped when he was beside Starrk. "Look after her."
"I will." Starrk looked back at Nanao once Shunsui walked past him.
Nanao frowned as she wondered what Shunsui had said to the Espada.
"Ise-san? You zoned out again." Unahana noticed the girl' stare linger on her former superior. It was a secret that they both had feelings for each other. "How is it that you can be wounded enough that a anyone would dies from, yet still be able to fight?"
Lisa noticed the girl' seems begin to drop. "She's losing consciousness. Nanao-chan? Nanao-chan you need to stay awake." Lisa moved to the side that Shunsui had bee previously occupying. "And to answer your question, it's an ability of her zanpakutou. But it's effect ends when she loses consciousness. And she can keep going until she is nothing but a pool of blood. As long as she is conscious, she is alive."
Unahana nodded at the explanation. "I can see why self preservation would be a problem to learn then." Unahana found the most severe and life threatening wounds and began healing those first. "I will see what I can do."
Review please! Tell me what you think of my story.
