"What the fuck is that fucking thing?" Kana wasn't even trying to hold back her laughter, cackling madly as Renji flushed to the same colour as his hair.
"Shut up! It's my Bankai! With this I'm more powerful than you'll ever be!" He shouted, and Kana just laughed louder. Yoruichi was still tried, so she had told Kana to spar with Renji if she was feeling up to it, and Renji needed practice with his Bankai in a 'my dick is bigger than my captain's competition he had set for himself, so here they were. The sun had just risen, so they had the whole day to train before they could grab a few hours of sleep. The next day, at sun rise, the Shinigami were set to execute Rukia. If they failed to stop it, then it was almost a given that they would all die, intruders and traitors alike.
"You've got a fucking monkey arm!" Kana's laugh was cut off as Renji moved said monkey arm, the absolutely massive bone snake shifting before speeding towards her, requiring her to either dodge, block, or run.
Kana, of course, decided to do a mixture of all three. She started sprinting backwards, watching the snake race to catch up. Renji seemed to catch on that she was assessing his speed, so he brought his arm back with a probably unnecessary yell before attacking Kana again. This time, the bone snake moved twice as fast, and seemed to be gaining speed as it went. Once it reached the point where it would catch her if she continued, she leapt high to dodge, flash-stepping down the skeletal back. Renji seemed to panic for a second at her approach, pulling hard to get his Zanpakuto to recoil but it was already too late, Kana's leg swinging into his stomach and knocking the wind out of him, though he stood firm.
"Point for me! You're far too slow, you have no defense, and your motions are too wide." Renji huffed in response, rubbing at his stomach with his free hand.
"How about this then!?"
Ichigo was the most anxious to go early the next morning, looking somehow altogether determined, confident, nauseous, and angry that Kana and Yoruichi were taking their time getting ready and making sure they were prepared. Renji was nowhere to be seen, and she wasn't quiet sure when he had left.
"Are we leaving yet!?" Ichigo called from the very entrance of the cave. Kana was finishing the new touch on her outfit beside him, wrapping bandages around her wrists. Yoruichi had also given her some piece of jewelry from her family, a thin silver bangle with the Shihoin crest engraved on it. It had been used to enhance their kido, and Yoruichi had fully admitted she wouldn't use it. They were hoping it would help enhance Kana's weird lightning magic stuff. Whatever it was, she was so going to accost Urahara as soon as she got back to see if he had some answers to whatever this was. But at the moment, she didn't care too too much considering if she ever got disarmed it meant she wasn't completely defenseless. Well, she wasn't anyway, but it would give people who were better than her at hand-to-hand combat *cough* Soi Fon *cough* then it would give them a shocking surprise.
Ichigo gave her a confused look as she chuckled to herself, and Yoruichi finally came out from the back.
"Alright. Ichigo, remember the Sokyoku will hit hard. It won't just stop at one attack, however, so once you block off the first attack you need to get yourself and Rukia out of there."
He didn't get himself and Rukia out of there. Kana and Yoruichi were perched just out of site, Kana patting Yoruichi's back as she put her face in her hands.
"He never listens! It's not that hard! She's like 80 pounds! Just pick her up and throw her away!"
"I know, Yoruichi, I know." Kana couldn't help but laugh slightly at how exasperated Yoruichi was, eyes locked on Ichigo's form as the Sokyoku pulled back for another attack.
"Why is he being so dramatic? He's gonna get himself killed." Kana groaned, standing from her crouch and sliding her foot back. She'd probably have enough speed to grab Rukia and get out of there just in time for Ichigo to get himself executed. Only it turned out she wouldn't need to.
"Hey, Yoruichi! Looks like the Shihoin family is getting a lot of advertising this week."
Captain Ukitake, as well as another Captain in a pink Haori had what Yoruichi said was the Shihoin sheild. A cord wrapped around the giant pheonix's neck, and there was a flash of bright light and the thundering roll as the Sokyoku collapsed.
"Oh, that's badass." Kana grinned, watching the giant bird crumble as the Captains watch in awe.
"And that not so much." Yoruichi mumbled, Kana cackling beside her as Ichigo full out biffed the petite girl who's shriek carried even to their ears before she crashed into Renji's arm, sending them both rolling. Renji hopped back up and after a short shouting match with Ichigo took off running.
"Ope, and now the fighting begins." Kana shrugged, taking note of the Captains there. Yoruichi placed a hand on her shoulder as she stood.
"I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to go fight my little bee. We need to have a discussion." Kana sighed, she had really been looking forwards to getting some revenge with the midget.
"I'm sure there'll be more opportunities to fight her in the future." Kana chuckled, nodding at Yoruichi.
"Go on then, before your little bee stings someone." Yoruichi smiled widely at her before taking off, and indeed she reached Soi Fon just before the captain could kill someone little cowering thing. She quickly took her out of sight, and Kana shuddered at the immense amount of reiatsu pouring from the Head Captain as he faced Ukitake and the Captain with the pink haori. On the other side of the hill Ichigo was facing off Byakuya, and Kana huffed as she noticed there wasn't really anyone left to fight.
"Awe man. I shouldn't have let Yoruichi run off with Soi Fon." Kana sent out a thin wave of reiatsu, figuring if she couldn't fight she could at least find her friends. Lucky for her, they were steadily advancing towards the hill. Kana quickly took off to meet them on the stairs, feeling more relieved than she figured she would to see them all safe and not a single scratch on them.
"So nice of you to catch up." Kana said with a grin and wide arms at the top of the stairs.
"Kana-chan!" Kana grunted as the wind was knocked out of her, Orihime throwing herself into her arms.
"I thought you were dead! It's been forever!" The orange hair girl cried, eyes welling up. Kana panicked, pulling herself away and backing up a bit. She could not handle crying.
"Well, obviously, I'm fine. Ichigo's fine, Rukia is fine, her and Renji-he's on our side by the way-took her and he should be pretty far away-" Kana was cut off with a weird whirring sound from behind her. Turning, Kana blinked at the sight of Renji holding Rukia, a dark skinned man in a captains robe facing them. There were gasps from where the other captains and two more Captains seemed to come into view from thin air. One the snake-faced asshole from before, and the other a tall cocky looking fuck with dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, and the most smug look she had ever seen someone have before.
"What in the fuck is all this drama then?"
