Yo everybody! Chapter 12 is finally done! And for those who missed my note. (which I replaced with this chapter) I have finished reediting of chapters 2-7 and have posted them. There's no real major changes that I've done to them, save that I changed the amount of Tatsuki's, Mizuiro's and Keigo's power that was sealed. It's now a third instead of a quarter. Also I have lengthen a few parts of the fights. Mostly, I just fixed the errors that I discovered long after I posted the chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach. If I did, Tatsuki, Keigo and Mizuiro wouldn't have become minor characters after the opening arc.

Chapter Twelve

Tuesday 7:47 am.

Kurosaki Residence

"Ichigo, wake up."

"C'mon Ichigo. Wake up."

"Do you want me to get your father to wake you up?"

Ichigo groaned as he opened his eyes. He hated mornings. But it could have been worse. It could have been his father waking him up instead of Rukia. He hated his father's wake up calls even more.

"Yeah yeah. I'm up." he said as he sat up.

He was still quite tired. His sleep had been anything but restful. But then that wasn't a surprise considering what had happened over the last of days.

He wanted to do something, but he couldn't. Not with their threats hanging over the air. Even if the bombs weren't real, there still was threat of them killing as many civilians as they could before they could be subdued.

If he hadn't seen Mizuiro charge up a cero that was pointed at all those people, he wouldn't have believed that they were capable of such a thing.

But now...

They weren't the people he knew anymore. Now they were monsters devoid of any traces of the people he knew.

The previous night, Hitsugaya, Renji, Rangiku, Ikkaku and Yumichika kept an eye on the three of them, until they had each received a phone call. After that, the three left their homes and Yoruichi followed. She watched them walk to some old warehouse. And when she returned, Urahara called them to his shop. When they got there, Yoruichi told them all what she saw.

Ulquiorra had been there, waiting for Keigo, Mizuiro, and Tatsuki. The four of them discussed their plans. They were planing on Saturday morning to trick Chad, Orihime and himself and then kill them while Ulquiorra would lead a strike team to distract and kill Hitsugaya and his team.

Urahara recommended that they don't actively interfere in anything they do until Saturday. Unless they had to defend themselves or others. Then when Saturday came, they would catch them off guard and capture them before they flee or fight back.

Then hopefully, they could find a way to reverse what Aizen did to them.

Suddenly, Ichigo heard something, distracting him from his thoughts. It was faint and he wasn't sure if he had actually heard something or was just hearing things.

He heard it again. It sounded like faint, muffled shouting. And it was coming from his window.

Ichigo pushed the blinds apart, revealing something covered in duct tape and taped to the outside of his bedroom window.

"What is that?" Rukia asked.

"No clue."

He opened the window and pulled the object off the window. He then sat back down on his bed and began peeling off the tape, revealing something wrapped in a plastic bag.

"Get this stuff off me!" it shouted.

"Kon?" Ichigo asked.

"Yeah! Now get this stuff off me!"

He peeled off the remaining tape and tore the plastic bag off.

It was indeed Kon...or at least something that looked like Kon.

Truth be told, it looked someone had turned Kon into the Frankenstein's monster of stuffed animals. His tail was now a bright green lizard tail, and his right leg and left arm were from a pink teddy bear. His ears had been replaced with white rabbit ears and the left half of his mane had been replaced with bright red rag doll hair. His body was covered in patches of fur from other kinds of stuffed animals. The quincy cross that Uryu placed on the back of his head had been replaced with a white skull.

"What happened to you?" Ichigo asked as he and Rukia struggled to keep from laughing.

"What happened to me?! It was your three psycho friends! They mutilated my beautiful body! Look at me! What woman would want me now?!"

Ichigo instantly knew happened. Kon had bumped into Tatsuki, Mizuiro and Keigo last night. And they had 'redesigned' Kon.

"Well...There's not much I can do." Ichigo said to the disfigured stuffed animal. "I have no idea where Uryu is, so I can't get him to fix you. So you can either go through Yuzu's stuffed animals for a new body or you can wait till I can get you a new body."

"Awww man. All of your sister's stuff is too girly. And knowing you, you'll pick something lame and uncool."

Ichigo sighed in annoyance and said monotonously, "I won't get you anything lame or uncool. I'll just get you an identical lion body."

"You better or-."

"Yeah, yeah." Ichigo interrupted.

Ichigo stood up and said to Rukia, "C'mon. Lets get some breakfast."

The two left the room, while Kon hid under the bed. Waiting until Ichigo brought back a new body for him.

Forty Minutes Later

Rukia and Ichigo began their walk to school. There was very little said between the two of them.

Rukia was actually kinda glad that he wasn't saying much. Her thoughts were on what happened late last night.

Rukia was asleep when something started shaking her. Rukia's eyes shot open as a hand covered her mouth. Rukia looked up at the person whose hand was on her mouth.

It was Yoruichi.

Yoruichi put her free index finger in front of her mouth, signaling for her not to say anything. Rukia nodded and Yoruichi removed her hand. She sat up as Yoruichi silently walked over to the open window. She motioned for her follow before leaping out the window. Rukia followed.

Once they were outside, Yoruichi said, "What I'm about to tell you must remain a secret. What Urahara and I told you earlier tonight was the whole truth."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Urahara and I both agreed that we couldn't tell Ichigo, Chad, and Orihime everything that I heard. I tell them that Ulquiorra won't be in Karakura Friday night."

"What? Why didn't you tell them this?" she asked.

"Ichigo, Orihime and Chad can't fight them. Last Friday proved that. If they went, then it would just be a repeat of the that battle."

"So basically you lied to them."

"Yes, we lied. I won't deny that. The plan to capture them on Saturday morning is a lie." Yoruichi said. "The real plan is for Hitsugaya and the rest of his team to follow them after school Friday. You will stay behind so Ichigo and the others won't get too suspicious. Hopefully they'll be able to catch them off guard and capture them quickly and quietly. Before Ichigo and the others realize what's happening and try to join the fight."

"I still don't understand." she said. "Why shouldn't they be there? Tatsuki, Mizuiro and Keigo are their friends. Shouldn't they be able to help capture them?"

"If they fought Ichigo and the others, all they would have to do is pretend that they were old selves again and Ichigo and the others would drop their guard for a moment. And that's all they'll need to kill them. Now do you understand why we can't let them fight?"

Rukia nodded before making her way back to the bedroom.

She had understood what Yoruichi said. But at the same time, she felt that they shouldn't try to prevent Ichigo, Orihime and Chad from fighting. They were their friends. Shouldn't they be the ones to capture them and if need be, destroy them?

But she was duty bound to follow Captain Hitsugaya's orders. And she was also afraid that what Yoruichi said would come to pass. That they would suddenly act like they were their old selves so they trick them and kill them.

Rukia hoped that this week would pass without much incident. She certainly didn't like the idea of being in a fight with them again. She was still sore from last Friday's battle.

Friday 4:00 pm.

Kurosaki Residence

Rukia sighed as she finished changing out of her school uniform and into some casual clothes. She was relieved that this whole thing was coming to an end soon.

Things hadn't gone as Rukia hoped. Thought, the two groups didn't actually fight each in the following days. It did however, get pretty close to an all out battle several times over the course of the week.

The first instance was Tuesday morning as they made their way to school.

A few blocks from the high school, they ran into Mizuiro and Keigo in an alley, with a gang of punks that were frequently put in the hospital by Ichigo and Chad.

The gang of seven guys had apparently jumped Keigo and Mizuiro in an attempt to have some vengeance against Ichigo and Chad. It probably would have worked...if they were still human.

Instead of beating up a pair ordinary teenagers, the thugs were the ones being beaten up.

Three were out cold. And of the four still conscious, one was nursing a broken nose and was missing several teeth. Another was cradling a broken arm. The third was unharmed, but was cowering behind a dumpster. And he had also apparently lost control of his bladder.

The final guy, the gang's leader, was on his knees. Keigo and Mizuiro had both grabbed one of the his arms and put a foot on his back.

Both greeted Ichigo and herself calmly as they pulled on the punk's arms, causing him to cry out in pain.

Ichigo demanded that they stop. Keigo and Mizuiro didn't listen. Instead, they continued to pull until a pair of sickening snaps filled the air. They then kicked the guy's head into the ground.

Ichigo shouted at them, berating them for their actions. They both laughed in his face and called him a hypocrite. Pointing out the he himself, frequently put these same thugs in the hospital and that in the end what they did wasn't any from what he did to them. Mizuiro commented that the only difference between them was that they took a sense of enjoyment in their handiwork while Ichigo didn't.

It looked like a fight was going occur, when the two of them started laughing. They walked pass Ichigo and herself, like nothing had happened.

Tatsuki wasn't much better. She completely ignored Orihime and the other girls that she usually hung out with. Even after Chizuru gave Orihime one of her 'hugs', she still didn't respond, surprising Chizuru and the rest of the girls. In fact, by the end of Wednesday afternoon, Chizuru gave up on hitting on Orihime, saying that there wasn't any thrill to it anymore.

Then in evening, everyone felt a sudden spike of reiatsu. Ichigo, herself, Chad, Orihime, captain Hitsugaya and the rest of the team quickly followed it to it's source, an abandoned warehouse. When they got there, they found Keigo and Mizuiro sparring while Tatsuki was watching.

Mizuiro and Keigo stopped sparring and the three of them greeted them in mocking tones, then the trio asked why they were interrupting their training and if they they wanted to be their training dummies.

Ichigo looked ready to make an attempt to capture them right then and there. But before anyone could do anything, Ulquiorra appeared. Holding what looked like a detonator in his hand.

Ulquiorra didn't say anything. The detonator spoke for him. Try anything and innocent people will die.

They did the only thing they could do, they left quietly.

And that was only Tuesday.

Wednesday and Thursday followed a similar pattern. They taunted them during the morning and afternoon, then in the evening returned to the same warehouse, so they could train and spar. It was like the three of them were testing to see what they get away with. There were times when they were practically daring to attack them. But they couldn't, not with the threats they made. Real or not, they couldn't take the chance.

As a result, by the time Friday came around, everyone was on edge. Waiting for them to do something truly horrible.

But then the strangest thing happened. Tatsuki, Mizuiro and Keigo were oddly quiet and subdued. Or at least compared to the last couple of days.

Perhaps it was part of their ploy to trick Ichigo and the others. Make it seem like the human part of them was slowly trying to reassert itself, causing them to act less malicious before the human side 'regained control'.

Then instead of returning to their homes, the three of them started the long walk from the school to where the warehouse was. Captain Hitsugaya and the rest were following them.

Hopefully, they would be able to capture them without a fight. Of course, even if a fight did break out, Hitsugaya, Renji, and Rangiku already had their seals removed. So the five of them should be able to capture them quickly and without too much trouble.

Suddenly, a massive spike of reiatsu surged through the air.

She turned her in the direction of the reiatsu. The warehouse.

She quickly scanned the reiatsu. A group of Espada level arrancar had appeared at the warehouse.

Then it hit her. It had all been a trap and they all fell for it.

Ichigo bolted into the room, already in soul reaper form.

Before he could say anything, she nodded at him and quickly shallowed a soul candy. They left, heading to where Captain Hitsugaya and the others were already fighting.

Five Minutes Earlier

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya and his team, minus Rukia, had been secretly following the three arrancar for almost half an hour now. And nothing, aside for the the trio calling their families ten minutes earlier and telling them that they wouldn't be there for dinner, had happened.

Toshiro hated Aizen even more for what he had done to those three. True, he never knew them before all this happened, but it reminded him of what he did to Momo. Twisting her mind, making her think that he was the traitor. And worst of all, Momo still believing that Aizen was a good man. That he wasn't a traitor. That he was being used or manipulated by Gin.

Toshiro didn't believe that for a minute. Aizen had shown his true colors. If anyone was being used or manipulated, he believed that it would likely be Gin or Tosen. Though, he seriously doubted that.

Of course, what Aizen did this time was take it a step further. Not only twisting their minds but their bodies as well.

He noticed that they were almost at the warehouse, so he pushed aside those thoughts and focused on the present.

The three arrancar had reached the warehouse and where currently talking amongst themselves at the entrance of the building.

Toshiro pulled out his container of soul candy and shallowed one. The rest of his team followed suit.

The five of them flash-stepped and surrounded the arrancar.

"Oh what do we have here?" Keigo said. "A group of soul reapers looking for a fight."

"Surrender and we won't hurt you." he said to them.

The arrancar laughed and Mizuiro said, "We aren't the ones your looking for."

"What?" Renji said. "What the hell are you talking-"

Renji was interrupted by Tatsuki grabbing Keigo and stuffing her hand down his throat and pulling out a piece of soul candy, causing Keigo's body to lifelessly fall to the ground.

Toshiro was stunned. When they switch out? They had kept a close eye on them just about all of the time.

"When did they switch with you?" he asked.

"Last night. They never returned to their gigais after they finished training." the fake Tatsuki answered as she placed the soul candy back in Keigo's mouth.

It didn't make sense. Why go through the trouble of having artificial souls pose as them?

The realization of what was happening hit Toshiro like a kido spell. They knew Yoruichi was spying on them. This was all a setup.

"It's a trap!" he shouted to his team.

At that instant, a Gargante opened up above them. Grimmjow, Luppi, Yammy and a childish looking arrancar appeared.

Grimmjow scanned the area before saying, "He's not here. Where the hell is Kurosaki?!"

The artificial soul in Tatsuki's body replied, "Tatsuki and the others are dealing with them."

"What?! That bitch! Kurosaki is mine!"

Grimmjow started leaving when Renji flash-stepped in front of him, blocking his path.

"I don't think so arrancar. If you want a piece of Ichigo, then you have to go through me first."

Grimmjow smirked and replied, "You don't stand a chance. A warm up before the main event won't hurt. Well, at least not me anyway."

Toshiro and the rest of his team turned their attention to the other arrancar. Yammy and Luppi were both Espada level arrancar and judging by the other arrancar's spiritual pressure, he was as well.

This was gonna be a difficult battle to say the least.

Elsewhere

Tatsuki grinned as Hitsugaya and his team battled her fellow arrancar. She, Keigo and Mizuiro were too far away to actually see what was happening but they could sense it.

They had fallen for their plan quite easily. Just as Aizen predicted.

Yoruichi followed them to the warehouse where they put on that little performance. Naturally, she and Urahara had at least partially believe it and made plans to capture them on Friday, when Ulquiorra wasn't present. Which was about the only true part of their performance. Ulquiorra left Karakura this morning.

As predicted, Urahara and Yoruichi didn't tell Ichigo, Chad and Orihime of their plan to capture the three of them. Sending Hitsugaya and the majority of his team to do it instead. Expect, they didn't go to school today. Instead, they sent their mod souls in their place.

Hitsugaya and his team followed them to the warehouse where the trap was. As made their way, their mod souls called to confirm that Ichigo, Chad and Orihime were not with the group.

And all that was left, was for them to distract Ichigo, Chad and Rukia while Ulquiorra acquired Orihime.

"Well then, let's have some fun." Keigo said with a grin.

Tatsuki pointed in one direction and said, "Orihime is there."

She always knew where Orihime was, expect for when she was in Hueco Mundo. It was an ability she possess before she was made into an arrancar.

She moved her hand in a different direction and added, "There's two in that direction. Which I believe is Ichigo and Rukia."

Tatsuki moved her hand to a third and final direction. "And the last one is there. Likely Chad."

"I want Chad this time." Keigo said.

"Have him. He was to slow and weak for my liking." Mizuiro replied. "Of course, this that's probably true for all of them. At least in a one on one fight."

"Yeah." Tatsuki agreed. "I doubt Ichigo can cut me with just his bankai this time. But that aside, we can still have some fun."

Keigo and Mizuiro nodded before she and Mizuiro started running towards the location of the two individuals while Keigo went after the lone individual.

It didn't take very long for the two of them to intercept the two targets.

They stood in the path of the two, waiting for them to arrive.

She was right. It was Rukia and Ichigo.

The two of them stopped the second they saw Mizuiro and her.

"What's this?" she said. "Two uninvited soul reapers trying to crash a private party? Sorry but this is as far as you go."

"This happens to be as far as I want to go." Ichigo replied. "Tatsuki, Mizuiro, your coming with me. Even if I have to break your arms and legs. BANKAI! Tensa Zangetsu!"

Tatsuki snickered at him. "Last time, you lost to me. This time won't be any different."

Ichigo rushed her and swung Zangetsu down on her right shoulder. Only to see to his and Rukia's surprise, it didn't even cut her uniform.

"What...?" Ichigo said in disbelief.

"Oh! That's right! We forgot to mention that the last time we fought, a third of our power was sealed. But now, we're unsealed and at a hundred percent." she said with a smirk.

She grabbed the blade, which now felt quite dull to her and threw it and Ichigo behind her.

"Mizuiro, would you please deal with Rukia for me? Last time I fought Ichigo, she tried interfere and ruin the fight."

"Of course." Mizuiro replied as he turned to Rukia.

"Tell me Rukia. You've seen ceros but have ever seen this?"

Mizuiro raised his both of his palms at her and began charging not one, but two ceros.

"What...Impossible." a stunned Rukia said just before Mizuiro fired them.

Two large explosions tore through the pavement where was standing.

"RUKIA!" Ichigo shouted.

"Relax Ichigo." Mizuiro said. "She dodged them. Barely."

The smoke cleared, revealing Rukia on her knees, barely a foot away form the left crater.

"Like my Mellizo(1) Ceros Rukia?" Mizuiro asked. "In exchange for reducing a cero's power in half, I can fire two at the same time."

Mizuiro grinned and added, "How about I show you it again."

"No you don't!" Ichigo shouted as lunged at Mizuiro from behind.

Mizuiro spun around and caught Ichigo's zanpaku-to one-handed.

"I bet you thought I was the weakest one of the three of us. You thought that other then my ceros and balas and my special ability, that I had nothing. I don't blame you. I look weak and frail." he commented as he held the sword. "But I'll let you in on something. Overall, all three of us are on the same level."

The expression on Ichigo's face was priceless. He actually believe that Mizuiro was weaker then her.

"Tatsuki, I believe you want to fight Ichigo, right?" Mizuiro said before firing a bala at Ichigo's chest, sending him flying back.

The second Ichgo got back on to his feet, she lunged at him, driving her knee into his gut. Tatsuki followed it up with a barrage of punches.

Ichigo stumbled backwards but stayed standing. He raised his left to his face and said, "I didn't want to use this against you Tatsuki. But you leave me no choice."

He brought his hand down and his mask appeared on his face.

Tatsuki had seen him use it once against Grimmjow. It had boosted his strength beyond Grimmjow's. But it only seemed to last a very short time before breaking and him weaker than before he the mask on.

"Getsuga Tenshou!" Ichigo shouted as he swung his zanpaku-to, releasing a wave of black energy from the blade.

Tatsuki's eyes widen as the powerful wave of black energy surged towards her. She barely managed to draw her sword and attempt to block the attack. Her sword blocked the worst of it but she had still received a large burn across her abdomen.

The instant she blocked the attack, Ichigo disappeared. He reappeared behind her and swung his sword horizontally. She leap forward, barely dodging the blow.

Tatsuki turned to attack Ichigo with her own sword. But Ichigo was too fast for her. He sidestepped her attack and delivered a powerful uppercut, sending her flying into the air.

Ichigo flash-stepped into her path and swung his zanpaku-to. Tatsuki barely managed stopped her flight and block the attack. Ichigo swung his zanpaku-to again and again. Each time she barely blocked the attack. But she couldn't keep up the pace for much longer.

She wasn't gonna last much longer unless the mask broke or she could release zanpaku-to.

"It's over Tatsuki." Ichigo said. "Getsuga Tenshou!"

He swung his sword. The black energy swirling around it again. Time seemed to slow to a crawl as he started to swing it forward.

Crack...crack...crack...CRACK!

To the surprise of both of them, Ichigo's mask broke.

The black energy around Ichigo's zanpaku-to faded as a feral grin spread across her face.

Before Ichigo could regain his composure, Tatsuki was on him. She hit him with barrage of punches followed by an axe kick.

Ichigo fell and hit the ground like a rock.

Tatsuki turned to Mizuiro as she descended to the ground. He and Rukia weren't fighting at the moment. Likely they had been watching her and Ichigo go at it.

"Mizuiro, how long was that?" she asked.

Mizuiro smirked and replied, "Eleven seconds. Just like last time."

When she reached the ground, she walked over to where Ichigo was trying to get up. "Impressive Ichigo. But you clearly haven't been training as hard as you could have. If I was you, I would have been training so I could use that mask for longer then a rather pathetic eleven seconds."

Tatsuki sheathed her sword and lifted Ichigo by his collar. "Time for some fun."

"ICHIGO!" Rukia shouted as she started running towards them.

Mizuiro stepped in front of her and drew his sword. "Your forgetting about me Rukia."

Tatsuki cranked her right fist back, focusing reiatsu into her fist. She drove it into Ichigo's chest, sending him flying a good block and a half back.

She walked over to a nearby street light, grabbed it and ripped it out of the ground. Tatsuki slung it over her shoulder and started walking towards Ichigo.

Ichigo was on his hands and knees, breathing heavily. Ichigo looked up as she approached.

"You know Ichigo, this is a little nostalgic." she said to him. "Back when we were both human, you couldn't beat me."

She raised the street light over her head and added, "And now, after we have both become superior to humans, you still can't beat me."

Tatsuki started to swing the street light down, when a ball of energy struck the pole, destroying it.

"My, my. Although I really don't like to butt into a soul reaper fights. Guess it can't be helped."

Tatsuki and Ichigo both turned to the source of the voice. A blond haired guy standing on the roof of a nearby house, a zanpaku-to slung over his shoulder.

"There'd be no way that I could ignore this battle, if you were making so much racket so close to me."

Tatsuki found that there was something familiar about this guy. And it wasn't that he looked like he could be son of Gin and Nnoitra wearing a bad wig.

Then she remembered. The last day she had been human, there was some strange new guy in class, who had written his name backwards.

"You're Shinji Hirako right?"

"You know my name? I thought Aizen wasn't aware of our identities."

"Wait a minute. I've seen your face before." Shinji added before pausing to stare at her for a moment.

His eyes widen as the realization hit him.

"You're that girl. Orihime's tomboy friend. Can't remember your name. But it looks like Aizen sunk his talons into you."

"The name's Tatsuki Arisawa. And it looks like your another soul reaper, whose about to have their ass handed to them by an arrancar."

"I'm not a soul reaper and I normally don't fight women. But it doesn't look like I have much of a choice."

"No you don't." she replied before pushing off the ground and charged him, her fist raised.

Shinji flash-stepped out of the way at last second, causing her to hit and destroy the section of roof he was standing on.

She lunged at him again and again. Each time Shinji dodged the attack and house or a parked car or something else took the attack.

"Geez. Can't you hold back a little bit. If you keep on destroying things every time I dodge your attack. Then I'm gonna start feeling bad about dodging."

Tatsuki grinned and said, "Where's the fun in holding back?"

Shinji sighed. "So bloodthirsty." he said as he raised his left hand to his face. "Looks like I'm gonna have to use this."

He brought his hand down and a mask appeared on his face.

'He's like Ichigo!'

Shinji flash-stepped and reappeared a split-second later in front of her, swinging his sword over his head. Tatsuki barely brought her arms up to protect herself from the attack. Pain shot through her as his sword cut into her forearms.

Tatsuki tried to counter with a kick, but Shinji was gone before her leg could connect.

Tatsuki quickly drew her sword and blocked his second attack.

But Shinji didn't let up. He attacked again and again. And Tatsuki was struggling just to keep up with his attacks and block them.

He was definitely faster than Ichigo was. She needed to release her zanpaku-to or she was gonna die without landing a single blow.

Unfortunately, she couldn't release her zanpaku-to and protect herself from his attacks at the same time.

Shinji flash-stepped again. This time however, he moved away from her.

He raised his free hand and began to gather energy into it.

Tatsuki instantly knew what it was. A cero.

"Impossible!" she shouted. "No soul reaper can use a cero!"

"I told you." Shinji replied. "I'm not a soul reaper."

Shinji released the cero and it surged towards her.

That's all for now.

(1) Spanish for twin

I finally finished this chapter. It took me longer then I thought to write this chapter. But I suffered writer's block.

I did however, during my writer's block, complete the prologue and most of the first chapter of Zanpaku-to, my Naruto/Bleach story. Which will be posted shortly after I finish chapters 12 and 13 for Hollowfication, which will end with the beginning of the Hueco Mundo arc.

I can't wait start to writing the Hueco Mundo arc and finally revealing the released forms of Tatsuki, Keigo and Mizuiro as well as a few others things I have planned.

Oh, and I have decided now on Neji's and Shino's zanpaku-tos. Neji will get Byakuya's and Shino's getting Tosen'

Though I have to say that latest chapters of Bleach have been awesome. Frankly, I can't wait until the anime gets to the Kenpachi/Nnoitra fight. In fact, before the fight occurred, I didn't really care about Nnoitra. I didn't hate him, but I didn't like him either. Though, I did like his scythe zanpaku-to. Now, he's my favorite arrancar. (Spoiler alert) And as a result, I'm keeping him alive and maybe Tesla as well. Haven't decided about him.

Later.
