Bleach – The Heart of the Matter

By Tayla Drago

As Eichikiba's other half of his true dark form, makes an egg for Kiwi 'a nickname given to Sonia Yamamoto/Belmont' to be useful in battle to like his new master/friend and those who love her in the Soul Society. And having Ayame back to work for Byakuya Kuchiki in Squad Six, it was great to also be getting others to join the battle like Ichigo and everyone else back in the World of the Living to be training; some familiar faces to soon arrive that we all know of…Well, the bad part about the war against Dracula was also seeing vampires to be around the area to look out for, and to study upon for Mayuri to get to it while still making a cure for Sonia real soon from her curse. And fast! Same with Richard Belmont too once he gets rescued anytime soon.

While back at Dracula's lair for Succubus to be making her move to gather some blood, souls, use another monster 'just in case', and have a backup plan in mind to kill Sonia and do something to Alucard. As Alucard leaves to do something important somewhere else, Succubus comes up from behind him to look calm this time after threatening on her lies the last time they spoke to one another.

"Succubus?"

"Hello, boy, just thought I fly around the place." she said. "I was getting bored to bump in to you down the hallways like this." Succubus then places her hand out at Alucard to feel a dark energy she was about to be shot out at him.

"What is this? Are we on the same side?" he was lost.

Succubus uses her vines from underground to trap Alucard in seconds to fire a beam to hit him to make him pass out, allowing her to carry his body somewhere for her to use his powers on something…not so good on what she has in mind.

"(Sorry, boy, but you need to be taught a lesson as a bonus for finishing up the Belmont Girl too…But not without a little test run first. Lord Dracula will think his own son and I are doing the job together, so I'll get off scout free for me. Time to take off back to the Sou Society because if this doesn't work, then I know what will.)" Succubus said to fly out from a magical portal without any other creature seeing her. "For now, I need to bring him as a perfect alibi."

With Succubus taking off to have nothing to worry about at all even if she fails again 'while holding the out cold Alucard hostage' to head back to the Soul Society, someone was spying on her to be up to no good, Death himself to keep the suspicious of Succubus in mind, and Alucard to be kidnapped by her. Thinking carefully, it was a good thing that someone was on to her besides Alucard himself, for things could get worse anytime soon. Back at the Soul Society, Momo and Sonia were training together as Kiwi was flying all over the area to catch up to their speed and strength while enjoying the show to look and sound happy for the little guy. Since he likes his little nickname his master Sonia, the powers, other friends, and a new world to see than his other half could not do. With Hitsugaya seeing the two girls and Kiwi to be spending more time with each other 'and watching Momo a lot', for Ukitake to be happy to see him again to chitchat again – one who has a crush on someone and another to be in love.

"Those two are closer than ever, aren't they?" Ukitake said to Hitsugaya.

"Huh?!" he tries to act like himself while hiding his feeling from Captain of Squad Thirteen. "Oh, yeah. You seem really close to your girlfriend Sonia. And with her spirit of her Zanpakto to aid her in battle, we'll have a chance to beat Dracula soon enough. And for Momo…" Hitsugaya was scared to almost lose her from Sosuke and betraying her. "(I don't want anything happening to her again…)"

Ukitake smiles to pat Hitsugaya on the head to know what he was thinking about right now.

"For me to love Sonia a lot, I'll protect her…And Toshiro…?"

Hitsugaya tries to correct Ukitake to say his name right.

"Please address me Captain Hitsugaya-! Ah!" he freaks out to have Ukitake smiling at him. "What is it…?"

"If you're worried about Lieutenant Hinamori what Aizen did to her, I know your pain to love someone like her. You two make a cute couple." he said with a smile.

Knowing the Captain of Squad Ten, he won't admit his feelings for Momo to hide it very badly.

"What?! Captain Ukitake…! Shut up!"

"I know you very well, Toshiro, you do care for others to be shy to admit it." said Ukitake. "You do love her. And for me and Sonia…" he asks all lovey dovey when thinking about Sonia. "I love her cuteness so much! Such a sweet woman she is, I can't get enough of her."

Hitsugaya 'kind of' gets the whole point of Ukitake's love for Sonia, and for him to be shy to still love Momo a lot.

"OK! I get it!" said Hitsugaya. "You love Sonia, that's good. And…maybe I do love Momo a lot…" he then changes the subject to go down where the girls were to talk to them.

What did Hitsugaya want with both Momo and Sonia 'with Kiwi to tag along with Sonia always', on an investigation mission while making sure the other areas in the Soul Society to get a type of magic spells to cast in the area for protection since a vampire arrived the other day to be ready in case Dracula does that again. As he tells them about the situation with Ukitake listening in to help them out, they need to help him out by any means before Ichigo, Kukaku, and everyone else will be arriving real soon.

"So that's what we need to do next, Toshiro Kid?" said Sonia. "Guess Dracula is getting serious to get me as his wife…But I won't it happen to me!" she gets freaked out.

No kidding! It won't!

"You said it, Ms. Sonia!" Momo agrees with her friend. "We won't let Dracula win or take you away, you belong to Captain Ukitake!"

"That's true…" he said.

For Sonia to get shy when Momo said to have Ukitake blush to be happy to hear that part out loud.

"Aw, thanks, Hinamori."

"In love Sonia is!" same with Kiwi.

Getting back to the main point for Hitsugaya to say the rest about their mission for today, by clearing his throat…

"Ahem! Listen well, Sonia, you will not call me Kid-!"

"Wait, wait." Sonia corrects Hitsugaya to give him a nickname. "It's just a nickname, I know you're not a kid. Of course not! You got the wrong idea, Toshiro Kid."

I think he gets it since Sonia calls Ukitake by his first name all the time.

"Whatever…I still think you should still address me as Captain Hitsugaya…Same with you too, Momo." he said.

"Hey, Toshiro…" she gets upset a little. "Come on! Everyone calls others by nicknames a lot! Get used to it!" Momo stops for she excepts the job with both Hitsugaya and Sonia. "In any case, I'm in. I want to help Ms. Sonia in any way I can. Please."

I guess it's been settle now for the four were good to go. Before they do, Ukitake had to give Hitsugaya something important before he, Sonia, Momo, and Kiwi take off.

"You'll do fine. You two take care of my Sonia." Ukitake kisses his girl. "Excuse me, Captain Hitsugaya, I wish to give you something before you leave with them."

"And what's that?"

Another gift giving for Hitsugaya to give from Ukitake to be kind yet again, with so many random things.

"These nice treats here. I thought you might want some. Go ahead, help yourself."

Hitsugaya must say something to get out of this again to feel weird to have odd gifts from Ukitake's kindness, as Rangiku arrives to see how her captain, Sonia, Momo, and Kiwi were all doing today…

"Hey, everyone. Hi, Captain Hitsugaya. What are you guys doing?" she asks them.

This gave Hitsugaya a chance to make an excuse to put Rangiku at his place to get the gifts from Ukitake.

"Oh, perfect, Rangiku. Listen, could you organize the presents with Captain Ukitake while Momo, Sonia, and her Zanpakto spirit join me in a journey around the Rukon Districts?" he places Rangiku right next to Ukitake instead of him. "Thanks. I'll leave the rest to you. Let's get going now."

With Sonia kissing Ukitake goodbye as she, Kiwi, and Momo follow Hitsugaya to the areas they needed to go to, for both Rangiku and Ukitake looked at each other to be confused and such to still get the gifts back at Squad Ten's place.

"Ah, okay…?"

"Your captain is something else that's for sure." he said to wave goodbye back to Sonia. "Be careful out there, Sonia! I love you!"

Yeah, I guess Ukitake does these things through kindness a lot, and to Hitsugaya for Rangiku to take care of the rest. It's the same old thing…As Hitsugaya, Sonia, Momo, and Kiwi investigate the area where the Male Vampire appeared in to know how far the village was to make sure all of the spells were place around the buildings to protect everyone else; once Kiwi felt out the evil from one end to another to have the other Soul Reapers who do Kido spells to master them 'like Tessai is' to make sure that everyone will be safe once they get back inside to safety if any of Dracula's monsters or vampires come around again. Makes perfect sense there. For Momo and Sonia to do well to aid Hitsugaya to be so busy a lot, the one thing for the two were close to ask Momo more about her and Hitsugaya's relationship.

"Momo, thank you. I'll do the rest myself." said Hitsugaya to gently push Kiwi away from the spell casting parts to not be played with. "Kiwi, if you would be so kind…You're in the way."

The little Zanpakto spirit moves away to show his repeats to the captain.

"Sorry. Carry on."

"Respectful in a cute version of this light to darkness beast thing…I see." he said to himself. "(Not bad for Sonia to have a weapon like this thing is.)"

True, so true…For Hitsugaya to be all talk, demanding, pushy, smart, and kind hearted to be very bashful and all for Sonia to see more of him up close and to learn more of Momo's childhood friend for her to ask this question. Since both Sonia and Kiwi looked at each other to already tell about those two.

"So, Momo, tell me something…Do you love Toshiro Kid?" she asked.

"Huh?! Me?!" shock Momo.

Momo's face turns completely red. For part of her in a childhood friend does like Hitsugaya a lot more than best friends…For Kiwi to be singing and dancing to be happy.

"In love! In love!"

"Well, yeah…you two seem to be very close."

True, that Momo and Hitsugaya are for Sonia could tell to hear more about her friend/boyfriend to tell her best friend/idol about him next.

"For me and Toshiro…I use to call him Little Shiro. We met with each other growing up at the Rukon District and for us to become Soul Reapers. Hitsugaya comes from the province of Junrinan in the 1st District of West Rukongai. There, he lived with his grandmother and me. As a young child, Hitsugaya was a bit of a brat who liked to eat watermelons and poke fun at me a lot. I do call him "Shiro-chan" and he retorted by calling me 'Bed-wetter Momo'. The two of us are close friends and Hitsugaya, despite being younger and much shorter than his friend, always felt that he needs to protect me. Even at a young, untrained age, Hitsugaya could hear the calling of his Zanpakuto spirit, Hyorinmaru. Despite this, he never told anyone and couldn't accurately determine what was happening other than to assume it was an ever-recurring dream. When Hinamori left to become a Shinigami, he portrayed himself as happy to see her go, though it was more of an act than his true feelings. Her next-door friends feared him, even though he had never done anything to them. His grandmother, 'Granny', and myself were the only ones in the district that weren't afraid of him. His personality was supposedly 'cold as ice' or at least thought to be, and he often wondered if it was due to his appearance or attitude. When I had been in the Shinigami Academy for 5 years, he noticed how he hadn't grown an inch. He noticed that Hinamori's hair grew longer and she visited less often, seemingly having a goal in her life now. He also noticed that Granny was getting skinnier. While out at the market one day a shopkeeper, whom he was buying items from, was treating him disdainfully. He then meets Rangiku Matsumoto, who yells at the shop keeper for being rude to Hitsugaya and reproached him for his poor customer skills. When Hitsugaya turns around, he is knocked down by bumping into Rangiku's bosom. She then yells at him for 'lying there and crying about it and not standing up like a man', although it was she who had knocked him down in the first place. He then shakes her off and runs away. Later that night, he has a vivid dream of a gigantic, icy blue, serpentine dragon with large wings and an echoing voice. This dream is markedly different from the previous ones, where he had only experienced sensations, but nothing substantial to what the meaning might be. This time, however, the reason behind the dreams not only materializes, but tries to tell him its name. Hitsugaya cannot hear him, however, as his voice is muffled by strong winds. He then wakes up in a cold sweat. Upon waking up, he sees Rangiku and is surprised to see her in his home. She immediately tells him to stop leaking his Reiatsu everywhere and to get some sleep. She further explains that his grandmother looks cold, which causes Hitsugaya to notice for the first time that the room is exceedingly cold and affecting his grandmother. Rangiku then tells him he should become a Shinigami, stating that kids with power as strong as his need to learn how to bring their power under control. She explains that if he stays the way he is, his power will end up killing his grandmother. At first, Hitsugaya isn't sure what she is talking about, but she calmly places her hand on his chest and asks him if he hears a voice calling out to him. She explains to him that once he has found that voice, he'll understand how to control his power. She then notes that for that to happen he must become a Shinigami. Soon after, he tells his grandmother of his intentions of becoming a Shinigami. Much to Hitsugaya's surprise, she is happy for him. She tells him that she had always felt that he holds everything in because he didn't want to leave her, but doing so was only hurting him and in turn, seeing him that way, hurt her. Hitsugaya then leaves to follow his own path with his grandmother's blessing. With Hitsugaya's natural talent, he quickly entered the Shinigami Academy and graduated early despite his age. I continued to call him 'Shiro-chan' out of habit and felt she needed to protect him. Because of a promise that I had made, for I only began to call him 'Hitsugaya-kun' after he had achieved his Zanpakuto's Shikai and was recognized as a Shinigami. Highly capable and knowledgeable, he quickly became the youngest of the captains within the Gotei 13 in the entire history of Soul Society. He is also a friend of Jidanbo Ikkanzaka, the West Gate Keeper, who taught him the 'city rules'."

Such a strong, sad, caring, and heart warm story that was. For both Sonia and Kiwi to understand everything now about Hitsugaya and Momo, it makes sense for her to care deeply for each other…Slowly as childhood friends, comrades in battle, and in love with each other.

"Good story. Me Kiwi like."

"I know, it is. (So that's how and why Toshiro Kid became who he is today. A smart captain to care for others with his skills to control them, the power of ice. That's cool, and I'm not saying it literally…)" Sonia made a joke to then say something next to her friend Momo over the weeks and a month since she arrived in the Soul Society. "Hey, Momo, you changed a lot since I came here. From all the trouble you went through, again I'm so sorry for what happened, but you're growing stronger every day. Like me. We're a lot alike."

Momo seems to notice to go say her sorry's to the others, make up from her mistakes, training hard to become stronger, and changing a lot for the better since she meant with Sonia to look up for now as a friend and idol like before, but much better.

"Yeah…you're right, Ms. Sonia, I did." she said with a smile. "I guess a lot has changed so much for me to pull my own weight. And…" Momo thought about the good and then bad times she had with Sosuke once. "Still, Captain Aizen's really gone, isn't he?"

"(She still calls Sosuke Aizen her captain? Bummer…) You miss the good version of him back then, didn't you?" Sonia asked. "I get it. Like what Alucard did to me, Maria, Howey, Ichigo, and to the rest of us back in the World of the Living, part of me does miss the good side of him. If I must stop him if he's really my enemy, then I have no other choice."

Sonia was upset about doing so, for Kiwi to get her pain and Momo to know of her role to happen when she needs to stop Sosuke soon enough.

"I know of my role will happen too…Stopping my cap-! Sorry, my ex-captain one day. I get it. And it's hard for the two of us, but we're hanging in there." said Momo. "Ms. Sonia, do you miss Alucard to still have feelings for him? I know both you and Captain Ukitake are meant to be, I'm just wondering…"

From back then maybe, but not anymore to fight back to get some answers out of Alucard when she and him must fight one day soon enough.

"No, it's fine. For me and him once had…or tried to have a relationship than friends, but all of it was all in the past. I don't mind, but I will get my answers from him soon. Momo, let's both you and I do our best to win. I know we can if we stay strong. We are friends after all, right?"

The two shake hands and hugged each other for Momo was getting better and Sonia was hanging in there.

"Friends until the end!" Kiwi cheered.

"Right! Best friends forever, Ms. Sonia!" Momo said back to be happy. "Let's stay like this forever."

"Yes, let's do so and keep on fighting." and Sonia to then getting back to work. "Now let's finish aiding Toshiro Kid, there's still time to protect everyone."

High fiving and all, the girls get back to work.

"You got it! (And Ms. Sonia, thank you. I'll do my best to keep on fighting and face my nightmares real soon, with you by my side.)"

Also, Kiwi flies around to aid Momo, Sonia, and Hitsugaya.

"Wait for Kiwi! Wait for Kiwi!"

From finishing up and gathering the Kido spells for the other Soul Reapers to do so, Hitsugaya to think on how it will work to give them the spots, Sonia and Momo digging holes for them, and Kiwi to double check to feel out the energies to work, for it was seems fine to protect them all. It was strong. From North, South, East, and West sides were all cleared to be ready now for Dracula, his demons, and vampires this time for any of them show up again. Now that's what I call team work there, you know? As Momo and Kiwi check around a few more villages 'in case they've missed any' Hitsugaya makes sure a tree was a shield type of spell to be an old one; only for it to break down to come landing on him – for Sonia jumps in to use her bubbles to push it back, allowing Hitsugaya to use a Kido move to destroy the rest of it in seconds.

"Hado! Number Thirty-One, Shakkaho!" and the tree was blown to bits.

"You okay, Toshiro Kid?" Sonia checks on him.

Well, he's not panicking to be standing all calm and such to not have a scratch on the captain.

"Thanks for the save, Sonia, but I could've gotten this mess taken care of alone."

Sometimes, Hitsugaya could at least say that he would be fine, because he was almost crush to death! Still, he's caring like Byakuya's the same thing without admitting it, those two are 'almost alike'. Sonia to see that from the two that she met with to tell at least one of them to be more open minded in life than hiding the feelings a lot, she's been there before.

"(Little knowing is all likes to hide his feelings really bad…)" she tells him. "Hey, Toshiro Kid! What gives?!"

Like he would try answering back to Sonia to ignore the silly nickname of his…

"I wish you wouldn't call me by that nickname…What's that problem, Sonia?" he asked. "You might as well tell me now."

Guess Hitsugaya could tell that something was on Sonia's mind to be questioned and to be smarter than he looks. For her to be a bit surprised to see from Momo's point of view and Rangiku's to tell him anyways.

"Listen, do you ever relax sometimes from all of the work you do a lot? You're smart, amazing as a captain of the Soul Reapers, and a great leader to the people in Squad Ten, and at times you look like you're trying way to hard. I don't think that's good for you. I was like you are at one time to complete the Belmont's task to stop Dracula before slowly knowing about friends, family, and love. When Alucard turned against all of us, my older step brother is brainwashed by Dracula's curse, and me hanging on by a threat so far…Both Momo and Rangiku told me all about you and themselves to learn so much. Do you care for others to hang out and have friends? And…Do you love Momo?"

This made Hitsugaya blush all over to at first get nervous to really be in love with Momo to hiding it from Sonia, but she could tell. For a captain of Squad Ten can't lie his way out of this one when it comes to love.

"Huh…? WHAT?! No!" he tries to hide his feelings. "Me?! In love with Momo…?"

"Seriously?" question Sonia. "(I guess it does show this guy has feelings to care for others…) Look, Toshiro Kid, that tone of voice and the way you're saying you don't, could only mean you do care for Momo a lot. And I get it, really. I was almost the same with Alucard, and then…" she felt a bit upset. "You guess you heard on what happened…And now for my and Jushiro to end up together, it just the way love works sometimes. I'm sure you care for others, Momo, and wishes to relax from time to time while carrying out the job. I understand completely, there's no use hiding it from me, or to anyone else."

Hey! She has a very good point there for Hitsugaya to take Sonia's advice very well one he thinks it over…From him solving the Rukia execution thing, to see Ichigo and the others, saving Momo's life, and learning the truth about Sosuke, Gin, and Kaname's schemes to make their escape; as well as stopping one of the Bounts after sending Yumichika, Rangiku, Izuru, and Hisagi that one time. You know? Hitsugaya has done so well to show that he cares to fight back and save the woman that he loves, to see how trust worthy Sonia is to have gone through so much. A lot to also cheer Momo up a lot lately to make him 'sort of' happy.

"(Now that she mentions it, I probably do…)" he smiles a little to say something to Sonia. "Sonia, about Momo…She was almost killed by Aizen himself. I'm sure your uncle already told you what happened?"

"He did. I sure hope we do stop him, Gin, and Kaname. It must've been hard on her a lot. I'm glad she's still alive." she said to see her best friend and Kiwi working hard. "Momo's a good person."

And then…this happens for Sonia to hear Hitsugaya say something to be well open minded to her…

"And for me to ask you about it, please…Sonia, please make Momo happy to be her best friend. Someone to look up to like you are." he said to ask with his hands holding hers. "You're a good person for you to be free by Dracula's curse with your step-brother too, like Captain Kuchiki, I too will always protect as a guardian. Not just that, but I too wish to be your friend."

Touching, wasn't it? For Sonia knew all along that Hitsugaya cared for others deep down, she allows it for Byakuya was the same thing. Two men who were smart with some different personalities, and with big hearts to be shy to say the truth to know that they care.

"(Called it!) Yes, Toshiro Kid, I'll allow it. Both you and Byakuya are good people like Momo, Rangiku, Rukia, Renji, and everyone else I've met with so far." she said to shake on it.

Well, Hitsugaya's another person to be more open minded with Sonia.

"Thank you."

She then says something afterwards to 'kind of' rub it in Hitsugaya's face to knew all along for he cares for others and to be in love with Momo.

"You're welcome…" Sonia smiles to be laughing a little. "I knew it. You do love Momo."

"Don't push it, please." he hides his feelings again.

Ha, he was hiding it again. Well, guess another day to help others to be placing spells was going smoothly…only for Momo, Hitsugaya, Sonia, and even Kiwi to stop to feel out another demon who works for Dracula to make a scene as the little Zanpakto spirit got scared. To also alerted everyone else about the danger's coming.

"Red alert! Red alert! Kiwi senses another monster! Bad one coming!"

Kiwi was right for Momo had her Belmont powers all set to fight with her Zanpakto out, the other Soul Reapers guarded the innocent people in their homes for the spell to work, Hitsugaya got his Zanpakto out, Sonia does the same thing, and Kiwi flies away from the danger to stay close to his master/friend of his.

"Toshiro…" Momo was worried.

"It'll be fine, Momo, all the spells have been set up. No one else will get hurt." he said. "Sonia, I need for you and Momo to be ready to fight. And don't let the curse pull you down either."

She'll make sure she won't got down that easily.

"Right!" Sonia felt on who was ready to fight again. "Show yourself, Succubus! I recognize your sanky energy from the last encounters! So there's no use hiding and come out already!"

Kiwi pointed on where Succubus was at, standing on the tree 'to do what looks like to carry out Dracula's mission to gather blood and souls for him' and still try to murder Sonia to look like an accident. Not really her big fight, to all be something different in between this battle for today 'and with Alucard's body lying out cold still'. What could she be planning for him and Sonia Yamamoto/Belmont? For she shows herself to the four to play her role for the time being.

"Not bad, Belmont Girl, you've guessed me right…For someone to soon be dead to complete the task for my dear Lord Dracula and some souls and blood, I say we begin to fight with two more Soul Reapers and an ugly flying rat to join in for the kill, how fun. (All according to my plan. Just keep on playing, Succubus, a little lost to make that bitch lose her guard.)" with the snap of her fingers to open a portal to send out another monster from Dracula's hideout and straight into the Soul Society. "Now…it's time to dance! Start the fireworks, Olrox! Prepare for battle!"

And out it comes out into battle, of a gentlemen type of demon in a suit. Olrox's character is not clearly defined and much of it must be guessed.

The Enemy Data states that he is a Vampire Lord wielding considerable powers of Dark Magic, who rules the upper part of the Castlevania. He has no dialogue, but his posture and his formal greeting to Alucard, Dracula's son and the primary protagonist, he seems poised, regal and courteous, yet ruthless in battle. He is also one of the only bosses of the series able to assume a mightier form, aside from Dracula and Death the franchise's most prominent villains. He resides in a large and luxurious wing of the Castle named after him: the Olrox's Quarters, which include lavish corridors, dungeons, a villa and a courtyard with a bloody fountain. Whether the 'upper part of the Castle' under Olrox's control only includes Olrox's Quarters or a larger part is not explained. It could be assumed that he shares control over the Castle with Richter Belmont, whom Shaft brainwashed, or even that he is the real ruler with Richter as but a puppet-king. Given his second form, his status as an extremely powerful Vampire Lord and the large part of the Castle built for him, he seems to be a very close and high-ranking follower of the Count, and even related to him in some ways. However, he never reappears in any other game and his role is never fully explained, leading to much fan-speculation.

So beside sounding and looking nice, Olrox was still dangerous to be around with.

"What a strange demon this one is…" Momo was confused.

As Olrox bows to his enemies to be ready to give it everything that he has for Succubus's orders to carry out and he was ready to kill.

"Lady Succubus, your wish is my command. It's time we dance into the hellish fire, my enemies." he said to be on fire as his powers. "Give me everything you all have on me. That is…if any of you don't want to get burn!"

As Succubus watches on the tree top and Kiwi to keep his distance, the three battle it out against Olrox without getting burned to death. But hey, the spell works to protect everyone else in the entire village leaving the other Soul Reapers to use and Kido spells to get rid of the other magical fires in any way they could.

"OK, it's a fire type of demon…Olrox needs to be taken down while he's in a human appearance type of form right away." Sonia tells Hitsugaya and Momo. "Let's go! Show Them No Mercy, Eichikiba!"

Sonia can use wind and her water Kido skills to take out the dark fire. Soon both Momo 'using her Belmont powers mix in with her Zanpakto to absorb the fire' and Hitsugaya unleashes his Zanpakto, since he has the power of ice.

"We're right behind you, Ms. Sonia. Snap! Tobiume!"

"We can still win if we work together and we will. Reign over the Frosted Heavens! Hyorinmaru (Ice Ring!)"

Still an awesome type of dragon form made of ice that Hitsugaya has, you know? And they all attack Olrox to use lots of dark fires from be popping out of the grounds to look like dead skull, for the three use their Flash Steps to avoid every blast to be coming out one by one; with other fire balls of demon-like heads to come shooting out of Olrox's sleeves from his special jacket for Hitsugaya freezes them up, Momo absorbs them all, and Sonia washes down the demon himself to get completely soaked in water. Trying to chain him up next, he moves in a fast pasting skill to not be touched to try melting them with his sharp claws.

"Look out!" Kiwi warns them to try to stay away from the fire. "Too hot! Too hot for Kiwi!"

No kidding! Well, for them to have a plan allowing Sonia to use her fan to blow Olrox away for Momo to step in time use her own Kido skills.

"Here's some of my own fire power!" she fires at the demon. "Bakudo! Number Thirty-Three! Shakkaho!"

Direct hit to slow the demon down a little.

"Ooo…It burns." the demon made a joke to laugh. "Is that the best you got, my dear?"

"No, this is!"

Hitsugaya freezes Olrox's body to go down with the fire of his to fade with no more forest fire. Nice team work there…But was the battle over? Well, not for Olrox to be laughing as Succubus knows that this demon has a lot more than dark fire to have his true form to be shown once he grabs hold of Momo's Zanpakto to absorb some mix fire to feed upon. Not good!

"Ah! Momo! Get out of there, Olrox's about to show his true demon form if he keeps on feeding on your Zanpakto's spirit energy!"

But Sonia warns Momo too late to get grabbed by Olrox' arm to become bigger and she gets trapped by him now.

"I can't, he won't let go of my arm!" she was struggling.

"Come to me, my fire…My fire!" he voices changes into a green-like demon who was taller and uglier to fight again to be twice as strong to also have Momo in his hand to use as his hostage. "Now I got all of the fire power for me to win! Grah!"

One stomp from Olrox's foot when he walks around made lots of sparks go flying to hit the other Soul Reapers 'to some getting burned and almost close to death'. For Sonia to use a Kido water type of shield to save herself and Kiwi, and Hitsugaya with his ice of his Zanpakto, they must stop Olrox again while also saving Momo to be feeding on her weapon.

"Help!" Momo cries for help. "Ms. Sonia! Toshiro!"

This makes Hitsugaya get worried and upset to see his childhood friend/love of Momo is in danger to now go in to his Bankai form.

"(Momo…!) Put her down, you bastard!" he powers up. "Bankai! Daiguren Hyorinmaru (Grand Crimson Lotus Ice Ring!)"

Cool for him to have a dragon form with an icy-like tail, with wings, and the three powers to fade like a timer. He goes charging in for Sonia had to try to help him out or he and Momo will both get killed.

"Toshiro Kid! Wait! That won't work on him! Stop!"

With Hitsugaya charging in at Olrox…only to show Momo for him to almost hit her 'after seeing her get stabbed by Sosuke a while back' which makes him stop.

"Watch out, Toshiro!" Momo warns him too late.

"Burn, baby! Burn!"

Olrox uses his eyes to shoot out a fire-like laser beam to send Hitsugaya flying to get burn at the chest. For Sonia to see him get hurt, and the demon to make lava-like hands pop out of the ground to control and traps her within the fire-like circle type of dark spell for no water or wind will get her out of this one.

"I'm stuck!" she tells Kiwi to stay away. "Kiwi, don't! The fire will trap you too! Stay where you are!"

"But, Sonia…Me worried." he said.

For Olrox's insane laugh and Succubus's sick enjoyments to tell her demon to finish the two Soul Reapers off first.

"One pest down and two more to finish off, oh goodie." she said. "Go ahead, Olrox, finish off the boy however you please and drain the girl next."

For the demon to walk over to Hitsugaya to still be holding on to his sword in his Bankai form to try getting back up to try freezing the demon and save Momo…Olrox steps on him to try crushing him to death. For Sonia, Kiwi, Momo, or the other Soul Reapers couldn't do anything about it with so much powerful fire to be spreading everywhere in the area.

"No…Ah!" Hitsugaya was in pain.

With Sonia trapped to try not to think about the curse to be coursing through her body again, she could do was to watch the horror go down.

"Ha! Now I got you, boy! Once I melt you completely like a little water of a dry out lake, I will make sure to gather the rest of the fire from your friend here. Then the souls and blood will be all mine to give to Lord Dracula!" the demon laughs insane-like to stomp on Hitsugaya while playing around. "This little boy went to the market…This little boy stayed home…! This little boy had roasted beef…And this little boy had none." Olrox does it again very face to stomp Hitsugaya's face as his final strike. "Any last words?"

"Stop! Don't!" Momo was thinking about from Sosuke's fake death, almost losing her mind, and almost dying right now to be in danger and her friend. "Leave Toshiro alone! Can't you see he has enough?!"

Like the demon cared to still be powerful to fight back.

"Like I give a damn, I just enjoy the fun of killing with some fire power! Thank you again, missy."

As Hitsugaya had some power left and ice as he tries to lift Olrox's big foot away from his face to fight back or dies trying. All to save Momo's life the most than his own.

"Momo…don't say that…" he said in pain. "I will protect you…"

"But, Toshiro…"

A moment of their past to knowing each other to be growing up as kids from long ago and becoming Soul Reapers together, for Sonia to sense it all out to care for them both. Getting angry to say something to both Olrox and Succubus for Kiwi, Hitsugaya, and Momo to hear the whole speech to go don next…

"Enough, Succubus!" Sonia said in anger to try cooling off the lava with her Kido water spells a lot. "(I will save you two…) How long are you going to keep me from suffering so much?! By hurting my friends?! Putting other innocent lives in danger?! Trying to kill me to please Dracula to love him more than he loves me?! Which by the way I hate him so much!" she said. "Is bad enough to get cursed like my Big Brother is, but this whole thing of you pleasing your boss won't accomplish nothing if he only sees you as a henchman of some kind. So why can't you take a damn hit already?! Wake up and smell the roses because it won't happen and reality sucks, but that's how life is! It hurts…I know it. But still, you have to let it go."

Good point for Sonia was like both Hitsugaya and Momo as well, for Kiwi and Hitsugaya were touched and Momo to be crying in tears from her friend's words. With Succubus getting a bit mad to cut down a tree in anger by using her long finger nails to not listen to the truth. Ouch…

"Oh…Shut up! Just shut up, you…You don't know nothing about me! (I hate to listen to the Belmont Girl's words, and yet I have to for my other plan to come to action in a bit…)" the demon tries to bite her tongue to play it cool. "What I do to please my Lord Dracula is mine alone, you understand me?! Olrox, hurry up and turn them all to ashes for me."

"NO!"

Nice one!

"Ah! Gross! Get off my face, you little rat!" angered Succubus.

Kiwi headbutts Succubus in the head to blinding her, as she had trouble getting the little guy out of her face to fall. Allowing for Momo to absorb the fire to free Sonia and for her to bite down on Olrox to let her go free, that had to hurt.

"AH! Damn you, Soul Reaper!"

Mom uses her Belmont powers of Tobiume's fire to trap Olrox in a whirlwind of her own fire power, just to hold him off for her to carry Hitsugaya to safety. And…he was glowing up which could only mean one thing, right…? Yep! Another Belmont power was going to be awaken with Hitsugaya next for the two girls to see.

"Toshiro, you're glowing just like me…" surprised Momo. "Ms. Sonia, the Belmont Powers…"

"You're right…" she tells Hitsugaya to use them now to stop Olrox while there was still time left. "Toshiro Kid, hurry. Use those power to finish the job."

He was confused at first.

"Excuse me?"

"Just do it already!" Sonia said to catch Kiwi from getting thrown away in time. "Kiwi!"

A bit dizzy for Succubus to shake him off, but Kiwi will be fine to have his fuzzy body to land softly out of danger.

"Kiwi fine. Bat girl's getting away."

Meaning that Succubus retreats again 'or so it looks like to make her escape from them'.

"Ugly rat…! I'll be back…Just finish up the job, Olrox, right away!" she flies away.

"Hey!" this angers Kiwi. "Kiwi not rat!"

And from there, Hitsugaya trusts in Sonia's words, Momo was safe now, and the fire to put out for him to reach out for more ice to appear out of nowhere like wind to freeze up to fire healing the other Soul Reapers. Now Olrox was done for as the Captain of Squad Ten powers up for some ice dragon to become alive under Hitsugaya's control to have an ice-like ax as his new Belmont Power type of weapon. Now that's cool, and I mean that literally again, huh all you Hitsugaya fans?

"(In that case, I will use this to protect my friends and Momo too. For I am a Soul Reaper.) Captain of Squad Ten, Toshiro Hitsugaya!" he was ready to go. "Powers from within! Activate!"

"It up to you now, Toshiro!" Momo cheers him on.

Well, for Olrox to power up with his left over fire against Hitsugaya and his new ice dragon to attack the demon 'like a real monster battle to go down'; from punches, kicks, clawing, biting, hitting a lot of throw downs, and so much for the two to be twice as strong for Hitsugaya to hang in there for the fire to go out and so was Olrox to lose his grip to get down on his knees to then getting dragged by the dragon to send him flying with a couple of ice shards to fall right into his chest to get stabbed. Nice one!

"Ah! I'm hit!" he said in pain to start freezing up all over his entire body. "No…It's too cold…! So cold…!"

With the dragon fading away in to snow until Hitsugaya uses his powers again for later, he then leaves the rest for Sonia to do.

"Okay, Sonia, you know what to do."

"On it, Toshiro Kid, time to make Olrox from freezing up in to wiping out." Sonia uses her skills for the finishing blow. "In the name of the Belmont Clan! Holy Cross, I now Bathe ties the Evil. Be…Gone!"

From water to come in right into Olrox to get wiped out, covered in water, and destroyed for good in the end.

"I'm melting! MELTING! AH!"

And that was it for no more burning passion to kill or no more Olrox. Nicely done…With the spells to work, the others were saved, and the Soul Reapers get treated afterwards. All in days' work for Momo to heal Sonia, Kiwi, Hitsugaya, and herself to call it a day and to report back for Squad Ten to do next, lots to tell on what happened to explain of almost having a forest fire.

"We did it!" Kiwi cheers with joy. "Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!"

You said it. For Sonia felt Succubus was nearby to try seeing on where she was hiding in, allowing for Momo to see her friend was doing well.

"Ms. Sonia, we did it!"

"Damn straight we did, Momo, Toshiro Kid saved you and you saved him back." said Sonia. "Hey, Toshiro Kid, don't you have something to say to Momo here? (Just say it already.)"

For Hitsugaya to try to say it to Sonia, it was hard too for the two of them to be blushing at one another…

"Well, about what I did for my new skills like yours…" he couldn't say it. "You see, Momo…" Hitsugaya gets hit in the back. "Hey!"

"Spit it out!"

With Sonia saying those words to him, Hitsugaya says something nice to Momo at least.

"Alright! Look, Momo, I'm glad you're saved and…I hope we can win this war together…Both you and I!" Hitsugaya was blushing. "Because…I like you a lot besides being friends-!"

Momo smiles to run up and hug Hitsugaya to be shock for this to be happening. Sonia and Kiwi were happy to see this, and for the captain himself 'he smiled a little' to enjoy this moment right now. The two finally admit in their own way type of feelings of love for one another to be kind of cute.

"I know, Toshiro, I agree. Let's do it." she said back to kiss him on the head a little. "(I guess love does make you do crazy things.) Also, thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome…" he said quietly.

Sonia and Kiwi moved in a bit closer to overhear Hitsugaya say those sweet word he was welcome to Momo just now to be happy to get kiss a little and a hug.

"What was that, Toshiro Kid…"

"Ah…" he changes the subject. "Quit it already, Sonia, would you?! Not now please… (Also, thank you for today.)" Hitsugaya clears his throat to tell the other members on what to do next. "Alright, everyone clean this place up! We need to make sure there aren't any more demons. Let's move out!"

And do so right away for the four and the others called it a day. As Sonia and Momo looked at each other to see that Hitsugaya does care for others while still acting like himself; and for him to smile quietly for the girls to help him get through so much after today's battle, you know? All in a day's work. Afterwards to head on back to the Sereitei…only for Kiwi to say something to them again about Succubus to be coming back for them to be nearby. Again?!

"Red alert! Bat lady's back! Red alert!"

"Huh? Kiwi…?" Sonia sees Succubus again. "(Really?) You!" she was shock to see the out cold Alucard before her very eyes. "Alucard?!"

As Sonia was standing there looking confused to see her friend/enemy in the hands of Succubus while Kiwi was growling at her, both Hitsugaya and Momo got out their Zanpaktos to fight her if they must to save their friend.

"Succubus!" the two of them said together.

"Sorry, but this fight was just a warm up to have something for you, Belmont Girl, to finally stopping you and Lord Dracula's outcast of a son. Care to see what it is…? (Because you two will die either way after this next shot by yours truly.)"

Showing her energy-like ball to be covered in darkness to appear in Succubus's hand to fire something at Sonia to be the same feeling that Alucard had as well, can Hitsugaya and Momo stop her in time? What's going to happen from that energy ball once she aims and fires? Well, Kiwi was getting goosebumps to not like this at all, and a lot more for Dracula to be watching the rest in his crystal ball. I guess Death told him for Succubus was trying to kill both Sonia and Alucard, for what's about to happen next has something to do between both Byakuya Kuchiki and Succubus herself…And Ayame. What's about to become of the sad demon to not be loved, you'll have to soon find out, a battle between the real world and in a nightmare along the way. Oh, boy!
