As the sun slowly began to set, and the cold breeze blew through the fields, a bell sounded, meaning that it was of the end of the days work. It was Seven P.M and everyone began heading towards the masters house, knowing they all have twenty minutes before the punishments begin. Today, Nine people have been caught doing things they weren't suppose to and will be whipped as a punishment. Currently in the barn, Kensei was thrown into the barn where the other eight people were.


" Get in there!" A man said as he threw Kensei into the small barn. Kensei stumbled a bit forward and then caught himself. He stood up straight and glared. As the doors closed, Kensei sighed and looked over at the eight People who were there. On the left side of the barn was Toshiro, Renji, Grimmjow, and Byakuya. On the other side was Uryu, Shunsui, and Kiyone. And in the corner shaking was Lilynette. The eight of them have been put in the barn for all different reasons. Kensei sat down on the ground, looking down slightly, re thinking about everything. He began to remember what happened a year ago, when every thing was normal. That was until the man they now call master, captured them all, starting with the humans with Spiritual pressure and then got everyone else.

The last to get captured were the Espada, Surprisingly, Aizen wasn't Captured, but no one really knows where he is.. No one even knows where Old man yamamoto is, or his Lieutenant.. which is strange. " Captain Muguruma..." Renji said shakily. Renji was terrified at the moment. He has never got whipped or punished in anyway from something he had done. Kensei looked over at the Red hair Shinigami. " What is it?" He asked him. Renji looked at him, " H-How come you're here..?" He asked him. Kensei sighed and looked down, " I punched one of those stupid watchers... " He mumbled. Shunsui and Byakuya looked up slightly and looked at Kensei. " Are you that stupid?!" Grimmjow questioned him.

" If i am, than that means you are two. We are both going to get punished... so we're both stupid.." Kensei mumbled. Grimmjow narrowed his eyes slightly and looked away. " So why are you in here Arrancar?" Kensei asked him. Grimmjow glanced over at him with a 'tsk' But he did answer, " I got Caught trying to escape.." He said. Toshiro looked at him, " You could get your foot cut off for that.." He said. Grimmjow looked at Toshiro and rolled his eyes, " So What..! If i can still run, then I'm fine.." He said. " Actually if you get your foot cut off, it would be hard to run more-or-less walk.." Uryu said. Grimmjow growled a bit, " Shut up four eyes! So what the hell are you doing here anyway?!" He questioned.

Uryu looked away slightly, " I collapsed while working, the watchers kept yelling at me to get up and i just couldn't.. so i was taken here.." He explained. Grimmjow rolled his eyes, " That's just stupid.." He mumbled. Uryu pushed up his glasses and said, " At least i will get less lashes than you.. So, who else wants to tell why they are here...?" " I got tired and was starting to fall asleep.." Toshiro mumbled, he didn't get much sleep Apparently. " I-I was getting yelled at b-because i wasn't working fast enough.." Kiyone said while softly crying. Toshiro frowned and hugged her gently, trying to make her feel better. Shunsui sighed, " I was caught drinking sake..." Was all he said, looking down. " I didn't get all the potatoes that i was suppose to.." Byakuya said calmly, his eyes closed.

Renji rubbed the back of his neck, " I was caught sleeping in the fields..." He said. And that got him a smack to the head by Byakuya. Then they all looked over at Lilynette. Hearing her sobs and wheezing. They could tell that something bad must have happened. Suddenly, another bell was heard and the watchers went into the barn and grabbed everyone. Lilynette was kicking and screaming, wanting to get away. As everyone arrived in front of the Masters house, the nine people who were going to be punished were tied to a pole, there stomachs against it, and there wrist tied to the other side of it. The men put those nine people on there knees and took out there whips. " Now the punishment will begin!" One shouted.

Then the men began whipping the backs of the nine people. Ichigo Closed his eyes tightly, he couldn't watch, seeing Uryu and Renji be whipped scared him. Mashiro watched, crying, she still couldn't believe Kensei did what he did. Nanao stayed in the back of the crowd, tears rolling down her face, hearing the yelps of pain coming from her Captain. Rangiku and Momo were heart broken hearing Toshiro's cries of pain. While Starkk was hiding somewhere, he could hear Lilynette's cries and screams, and he couldn't do a thing about it. Jushiro gripped his own arms a bit, He watched as his best friend and subordinate were being whipped. So much blood... more than he had ever coughed up.

Rukia, had just arrived from the fields, she was late because she wanted to get all the cotton she could and fill her basket. As she walked by the crowd, heading to the checking building, she saw her brother, Byakuya, getting whipped. Her eyes widened as she dropped the basket onto the ground, the cotton falling out. " N-Nii...Nii-sama..." She said shakily as tears filled her eyes. She began walking through the crowd as she headed towards Byakuya. Watching the whipping. She then began running over, " NII-SAMA!" She shouted as tears rolled down her cheeks. She began screaming in horror, seeing all the blood, and it scared her even more seeing renji be whipped too. " LEAVE THEM ALONE!" She shouted. But Ichigo grabbed her and held her back as Rukia screamed and cried.

After a few minutes, the punishment had finally ended and the nine who were being punished had blood all over their backs, tears running down their faces and were shaking badly! and they couldn't stop shaking at all because the pain was so intense! the watchers walked away, and Kensei, Toshiro, Renji, Grimmjow, Byakuya, Uryu, Shunsui, Kiyone and Lilynette were left there to rot...
