Thank you to KaRiSa and AshFallenAngel for reviewing--no critique? Come on, I'm not the most awesome writer! Well this one is extra longer to compensate for not updating for about 2 weeks or so.
"Can we quit now?" Zaraki asked angrily.
"If we could we would now wouldn't we?!" Soifon yelled at him. They had planned to stop the game since Yumichika ran out of the room but there was a problem. They couldn't think of a way to untangle themselves.
"Man this sucks!!" Tori complained.
"You know what? We never cared if one of us got hurt before so why now?" Rangiku asked earning some glares.
"You're right" Hitsugaya sighed. "…for once" he added on quickly. All of them shoved themselves off the game; of course there were minor injuries such as getting elbowed in the jaw, kicked in the butt, and getting thrown off onto their back.
"…I never want to play Twister again." Ichimaru concluded rubbing his head.
"What took so long?" Rina asked them from behind. Mika and Tori jumped up in fright.
"…How long were you there?" Ukitake asked.
"Ever since Yumichika ran out screaming that he was ugly—"
"CUZ IT'S TRUE!!" Mika interrupted.
"SO TRUE!!" Tori started laughing, while some people looked at her strangely.
"I'm outta here, oh and by the way, if any of you…" Soifon motioned to every single person in the room "…mention that I played your game with you guys, I won't hesitate to kill you!" she threatened then used shunpo to leave.
"Same for me!" Zaraki said walking out of the room with Yachiru clinging on to his shoulder.
"…Well we better get back to work right Kira?" Ichimaru asked getting up while his adjutant followed not saying a word.
"This has been an…interesting get together…" Aizen stated then left silently.
Hinamori rushed back to her division to get some work done. Hitsugaya gave Rangiku the 'tell anyone about this, you get to do all the work' look to her. She caught on fast and swore that she wouldn't say a single word. Kyouraku, Unohana, and Ukitake left silently too, nobody realized that they left, until about 5 minutes later.
"Hey!" Tori said suddenly.
"What?" Rangiku asked.
"Everybody left!"
Rina and Hitsugaya got a sweatdrop thinking to themselves 'she just noticed?' Rangiku and Mika however realized the fact as soon as Tori mentioned it.
A week after, some ryoka had tried to break into Seireitei ultimately failing. A captain's meeting was called into order shortly after the commotion.
"…I wonder what the meeting was about…" Ukitake thought out loud, he wasn't able to attend due to his condition.
"It was about Gin failing to kill the ryoka that he encountered or something" Mika told him.
"…How would you know if you're not a captain?" He asked her suspiciously.
"Uh…"
"SHE'S A NINJA!!" Tori saved her friend's butt from interrogation, or so she thought.
"…If she's a ninja then I'm …" He trailed off unable to find a word.
"…a biohazard…" Rina concluded.
"What?" he asked baffled at what she had just said.
"A biohazard, seriously you're taking so much medication you could be considered as radioactive!!" Everyone knew she was joking but it was a little too much for Ukitake.
"I'm going back to bed." He said then left hurriedly.
"You do that!" Kiyone and Sentarou yelled behind him.
Not long after the near break-in, Rukia was moved to Senzaikyuu, Shishinrou—the usage of Soukyouku was granted. The whole thing just got stranger and stranger. Seireitei's security had tightened after the ryokas had attempted to enter. They hadn't expected them to try and break in again so soon. Something had collided with the barrier around Seireitei; everybody looked up to figure out what it was. Suddenly it split into 4 different directions.
"Which one is the strongest?" Zaraki asked himself.
---
"Ok, which way?" Rina asked the group.
"Um……eenie, meanie, minie, mo…" Tori started.
"That way!!" She said pointing at the western alleyway. Mika, Rina, and Tori ran into that direction, they weren't planning on capturing any ryoka at all, but rather help them save Rukia. They knew they were going to be punished but they couldn't care less for little details like that.
"Which group should we help?" Mika asked.
"The shinigami, he's probably the strongest" Tori said as they ran.
"He can't control his reiatsu so it shouldn't be hard to find him" Rina advised them, she had remembered his spiritual energy level—he wasn't able to control it then, and he still couldn't. The 3 quickly caught his reiatsu and followed it.
Ichigo was engaged in a battle with Ikkaku; they were both bloodied but still kept fighting. Ganju, who had decided to high-tail out of the scene, was being hunted down by Yumichika. He had run into several walls but used his spell to get through. Ikkaku released his zanpakutou by connecting the handle of his sword with the sheath, it extended to a spear. Ichigo had thought it was spear and let his guard down a little bit. He shouldn't have calmed down at all, as Houzukimaru turned out to be a Sansetsukon (3-part nunchuk). It pierced his hand, rendering it quite useless. It was bleeding terribly but Ichigo wrapped the cloth of the sword's hilt around the wound, slowing the bleeding. He was ready to go again.
Ganju had come across an old execution pit, Yumichika had him cornered. While Yumichika was blabbing away, Ganju devised a plan to get across the pit. He threw sand at Yumichika's face causing him to lose his focus. Ganju used his sand spell on the ground causing it to sink. It looked like the stupidest idea anyone could've thought of since Ganju himself, was slipping into the pit. Yumichika underestimated Ganju; he had risen back up to the surface by using a spare cannonball. The cannonball exploded when Yumichika's Fujikujaku pierced it. It had sent Ganju to the other side, he escaped easily from there. Being the 5th strongest in 11th Division, he was able to follow him easily.
Ichigo roared as he struck Ikkaku down for the last time, he had broken Houzukimaru. Ikkaku was amazed at his strength but laughed it off saying that he still had his zanpakutou in his hands. He fainted soon after, Ichigo was exhausted from the fight, Ikkaku was definitely strong. He went over to Ikkaku and took Houzukimaru; he removed the end and applied the substance that Ikkaku had used to stop his wound from bleeding. Once Ichigo had finished with his body, he decided to help Ikkaku out from death. Ikkaku soon regained consciousness and looked up to see Ichigo looking down at him. He wondered why he hadn't died from blood loss; Ichigo explained to him. Both departed after, Ichigo went off to look for Ganju. Seireitei was a big region and finding Ganju easily wasn't so.
"GANJU!! GANJU WHERE ARE YOU DAMMIT?!" He yelled into the sky, he turned his head to an alleyway to see some shinigami.
"RYOKA!!" One shouted and dashed off towards Ichigo, he too ran off hoping to find Ganju soon.
Yumichika and Ganju could hear Ichigo's recklessness. Ganju smirked and notified the unaware Yumichika that Ikkaku had been beaten. He threw some fireworks at Yumichika; since he was in the air and couldn't dodge they exploded in the air leaving a beautiful display of fireworks. Ichigo saw this and ran towards the fireworks. He saw Ganju up ahead and noticed that like him, he had a group pursuing him.
"Turn back you idiot!!!" Ganju yelled at him frantically.
In a swift motion, Ichigo swung Zangetsu backwards towards the group chasing him which knocked them out. Ganju looked as if he had just had a heart attack.
"THAT WAS FRIGGIN DANGEROUS YOU ASS!!" He yelled at him still panicked.
"Shut up, at least that's one of our problems down" Ichigo replied annoyed that he wasn't acknowledged of his accomplishment. The group behind them however didn't show any sign of backing off, their swords were raised ready to strike.
"Oh…what should I do? If I turn back I'll get scolded for sure, but if I keep going I'll just get lost even more!" A shinigami sporting a bag pondered on what to do, he had been left behind from his group and was wandering around looking for them. He turned and saw a big group. "Maybe they know!" He exclaimed and raced towards them. "Um…excuse me but…"
"What do ya want?!" The man that he had asked shouted at him angrily. This frightened him; he stumbled back knocking over some other people. Those men were angry at him for his actions and threw him out of the crowd. Ichigo and Ganju saw him.
"Um…are you…the ryoka?" He asked carefully.
"Hey Ganju, I've just got an idea to get out of here" Ichigo said to Ganju with an evil look in his eye.
"Same here" Ganju answered him having the same look on his face.
"Um…get away?" The shinigami asked quite terrified. He was suddenly lifted up from his shihakushou; Zangetsu was placed on the side of his neck.
"IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR FRIEND TO DIE, MOVE!!" Ichigo bellowed out to the crowd.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
It was silent; the crowd looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Maybe they didn't hear us?" Ganju asked Ichigo who agreed.
"Um…IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR FRIEND TO DIE…MOVE!!! Hey…"
"Right...AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!..." Once again nobody moved.
"Something's wrong" Both Ganju and Ichigo thought. The group broke out into a roaring laughter while the two stared at them blankly.
"What do you think you're doing?" One asked laughing.
"Uh…taking a hostage?" Ichigo replied confused. The laughter grew louder.
"You can go ahead and kill him!!"
"Yeah we don't care!"
"Just do it!" They encouraged him to kill their so called hostage.
"What the hell?"
"I'm from 4th Division, they're all from the 11th Division" The hostage explained.
"Wait you mean you guys don't care if one of your comrades dies?" Ganju asked the crowd.
"Comrade? Are you kidding?! We're from 11th Division; we couldn't care less if he died!! He's from 4th Division!! Go ahead and kill him!!" All 3 were quite terrified for their plan had backfired.
"THAT'S. JUST. MESSED." Ganju commented on what they were saying.
"Then there's only one thing we can do…RUN!!" They quickly ran off, the men from 11th Division attempted to follow but a blast from the wall wiped half of them out. Out from the smoke Chad stepped out.
"I thought I sensed Ichigo here…"
"HEY!!" Chad turned to see an infuriated shinigami.
"Who the hell are you?" He continued.
"Sado Yasutora" He answered. He walked closer and closer to them. The crowd backed away seeing what he had done to the wall, they wondered what he would do to them.
"Damn it! We lost him!" Mika grumbled as they turned to see Ikkaku sprawled on the ground staring at the clouds.
"Hey!! Shiny Head!!" Tori yelled out to the bald shinigami. He immediately jumped up (amazingly) and started to yell back at her.
"Where the hell did that guy go?" She asked.
"Ya know 'that guy' is so descriptive." Rina told Tori sarcastically.
"Shut up!"
"…that…guy…" Ikkaku started.
"Yeah, yeah!! Where'd he go?" She asked eagerly.
"If you mean Ichigo he went that way…" He pointed in a direction.
"…Ichigo?" Tori and Mika asked in unison.
"He means the 'orange-haired psycho' come on!" Rina told them then ran ahead.
"Ohh…" The two knew now who Ikkaku was talking about.
"Later Q-ball!" Mika shouted back.
"See ya Shiny Head!"
"HEY!!" He yelled back at them. "Gah!" He keeled over from his wounds and fell to the ground.
---
"Boku wa Yamada Hanatarou desu." The hostage introduced himself to Ichigo and Ganju.
"What kind of name is that?" Ganju asked.
"Huh?"
"I can understand 'Yamada Taro' or 'Yamada Hana' but 'Hanatarou'?" Ichigo said to him.
"Really? The members of 4th Division say it's easy to remember" Hanatarou said to them.
"Hey why did we bring him anyway?" Ichigo asked Ganju. As the two argued they didn't realize 3 shinigami girls approach them.
"Hiya!!" Tori waved to Ichigo who jumped up and hit his head on a beam.
"Wah!! Who the hell are you?!" Ganju asked terrified, getting up to a fighting stance.
"Hi Hanatarou!" Mika waved to him.
"See, she remembers!" Hanatarou pointed out.
"Chill we're here to help, and by the way if you guys keep yelling at each other like that, a lot more people are gonna find you." Rina told them which instantly shut them up.
"How do we know we can trust you?" Ichigo asked suspiciously.
"You trusted a girl to live in your closet for 2-3 months, you can't trust us?" Tori asked him.
"Ah…uh…but!!!...gah…" He stammered, making no sense.
"Okay we're coming with ya!! Whether you like it or not!!" Mika decided clapping her hands together. Hanatarou led them to Seireitei's sewer system.
"Uh…why are we walking in the sewer lines?" Ichigo asked Hanatarou pinching his nose shut.
"Because, nobody will find us here" Hanatarou explained that 4th Division members knew the route the best, and that other shinigami would never think of going into the sewer lines.
"Well? Are you going to tell me or not?!" An angry voice asked from the darkness. No response from whomever he was talking to.
"It's not that I won't tell you, it's because I don't know." An answer was given. An angry growl was given as a hand was thrust forward. Before the hand had made contact, another hand had gotten hold.
"Who said that you could harm my men, Kurotsuchi?" A harsh voice asked. Kurotsuchi looked back to see Zaraki. He flung off Zaraki's hand and headed out barking at his daughter to follow.
"Zaraki-taichou!" Ikkaku managed to exclaim.
"PYON!! HI SHINY HEAD!!" Yachiru popped up from Zaraki's shoulder breaking the tension.
"Kusajishi-fukutaichou!" Ikkaku was surprised that both superiors were in his presence.
"Well, is he strong?" Zaraki asked getting back to the subject. Ikkaku nodded
"He's strong; I've already informed him of you…" Zaraki grinned at the thought, he knew he would have fun fighting Ichigo.
The news of Ikkaku being beaten spread quickly causing fear and pandemonium for he was a 3rd seater himself. If someone could beat someone at such a rank, basically anybody lower than that rank could've been killed. A lieutenant's meeting and a captain's meeting was called in order to describe the current events the following battle strategies.
"…A person from 4th Division has been taken as a hostage…"
"Our 3rd seat has been beaten as well…"
"This isn't good at all…"
"…I heard 3 people from 13th Division have gone missing!"
While the meeting was going under way, the lieutenants didn't really pay attention, they were merely discussing the problems from their own divisions. The captain meetings were more serious and solemn.
"…As for now, I will allow all zanpakutou's to be released…" Yamamoto sou-taichou told them, and then they were dismissed.
Renji had left before the meeting had officially ended; Hinamori noticed this and wondered where he had gone off to. Being curious she was she looked around 6th Division. She couldn't find him; the last place in the division was the office. She looked inside to see nobody there. The 6th Division's insignia badge was placed neatly on the desk—a sign of resignation? She took it immediately and went off to find Izuru; he was a close friend of theirs and probably knew what to do.
"Ok…we're good" Hanatarou gave them the green light, they got out of the sewer systems.
"BLAH!!" They all yelled, finally getting fresh air after many hours with the sewage. They saw a long staircase in front of them; it led to where Rukia was. They went forward, but stopped when they saw someone approach them.
"That's!" Hanatarou started when he was cut off by a tremendous spiritual energy.
"Abarai Renji" Ichigo finished.
"So you do remember me" Renji said quite pleased.
"Ren-Ren?" Mika asked quietly to herself. She wasn't sure what to do when the fight broke out. She wanted to save Rukia—her being on Ichigo's side, but she wanted to root for Renji, she was confused. Tori realized this and placed a hand on her arm.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." She assured Mika who nodded agreeing with her. The fighting was intense, blood splattered all over the place, flesh being cut open, swords clashing together. After some minutes of intense fighting. Both were bloodied and panting heavily. They wouldn't give up; they kept going at it until one of them fell.
Hinamori showed Kira what she had found at 6th Division. The lieutenant's insignia badge.
"What does this mean?" She asked him worriedly.
"I don't know, does anyone else know about this?" He asked her, she shook her head.
"Good, let's keep this to ourselves for now" He advised.
"I have to get going now, I'll see ya later Hinamori" He said waving as he left. She worried deeply about what Renji had done; being a lieutenant had a huge impact on his life, why would he just throw that all away?
---
Rukia recognized the spiritual energies that were being emitted.
"Ichigo…Renji…" She said to herself in disdain.
She knew they were fighting and wouldn't stop at all. She hugged her knees closer to her chest and looked out the little window. The execution was drawing closer and closer…
---
"ICHIGO!!!" Renji yelled out to him as he staggered over to him. Zabimaru lay in pieces, his hair was down and he was drenched in his own blood. Ichigo couldn't move at all as Renji grabbed his shoulders. "Kurosaki, I'm begging you... save ...Rukia!" He pleaded then fell over in a heap.
"Right…" He mumbled then fell over.
"Ichigo!" Hanatarou yelled out, the 5 ran over to the two. Hanatarou got hold of Ichigo's Zangetsu while Ganju picked up Ichigo. Mika stood over Renji in shock; Tori looked up at her worriedly.
"Mika?" Tori asked. Rina checked his condition.
"He'll be fine, he won't die that easily ya know" She reassured her.
"Ya I know, after all…idiots don't die." She muttered.
"Hey we gotta get going!" Ganju yelled at the 3.
"We better go" Tori said and started to leave. Mika remained there though.
"Mika? You coming?"
"Hey I was thinking…" Mika started.
"What…"
"If we don't want anybody to know our route, shouldn't we hide it?" She continued.
"What are you getting at?" Tori asked suspiciously.
"I'm saying we should fake our tracks, lead them another way and tamper with the DNA" She answered looking back at them with a smile.
"Wow, you sure get over things easy…" Rina muttered.
"Uh…Mika…we can't—"
"Sure we can!" Mika interrupted.
"No Mika, Tori's right—"
"Don't worry I've watched all the CSI's!!" She assured them.
"We don't have time for that!! Look!!" Rina pointed behind her, they turned around to see a group approaching them.
"Ohh…"
"Hey is it that guy with the unibang?" Mika asked suddenly peering out in the distance.
"Who cares?!" Rina asked them then dragged her off.
"Hey he does have a unibang!" Tori remarked.
"Tori!! Not helping!!" Rina told her and was forced to drag her off too. Luckily all of them managed to escape before the group had approached.
"This is…"
"…Abarai-fukutaichou!"
The group scattered in all directions to treat Renji. Kira stood in place shocked.
"Abarai-kun…was…beaten…" he gasped. They managed to get Renji back to his division. Hinamori was shocked at the scene, her hands clutched at her mouth she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"This can't be…" She gasped.
"We'll get 4th Division to treat him." Kira told her, she nodded in agreement.
"That won't be necessary." A voice said from behind them. They froze and turned around to see the captain of 6th Division.
"K-Kuchiki-Taichou!" Kira exclaimed then bowed in his presence. Hinamori did the same as well.
"Put him in jail." He instructed the two.
"What?!" Hinamori asked surprised. "He fought on his own though!" She protested.
"That's why he should be punished. Losing in a one-on-one match is unacceptable. I don't need an idiot who doesn't understand that in my division." He said then left swiftly. Hinamori wanted to go to him and punch him but Kira stopped her from doing so.
"Wow, 6th Division's captain sure is scary" Ichimaru Gin stated as he had witnessed the scene.
"Ichimaru-taichou!" Kira said then bowed again, Hinamori did the same as well.
"I'll get 4th Division for ya" He volunteered, Kira left with him as Hinamori bowed in thanks.
"Man, what a mess"
"KYA!!" Hinamori jumped at the sound of another person behind her. "Hitsugaya-kun!!! You scared me!!" She whined.
"Hey I'm a captain too you know!" He scolded. "Hinamori, I have some advice for you." He said to her. "…Watch out for 3rd Division…" He said gravely.
"3rd…you mean Kira-kun?" She asked.
"I actually meant Ichimaru, but Kira could be part of it too…" He continued.
"...What do you mean?"
Hanatarou spent the whole night tending to Ichigo's wounds, he was obviously exhausted. Upon treating Ichigo, he discovered the wound to his shoulder wasn't as deep as he had presumed. A mask had saved Ichigo. The mask however looked very similar to a hollow's mask. Ganju's wounds were treated as well once he was done with Ichigo.
"Mika you're okay with this right?" Tori asked for the hundredth time.
"If she says she's okay, she's okay." Rina grumbled, annoyed at the repeated question.
"Yeah but still!" she protested.
"Hey you think we should go ahead of those guys so that we know what's going on while we're down here?" Mika asked suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Tori asked her.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that people have noticed that we've gone missing and they're probably out looking for us too, so to help them how bout we go out and tell them that nothing's wrong?" Mika told them, the two agreed to this and decided to leave ahead of time. They told Hanatarou this before they left so that Ichigo and Ganju wouldn't wonder.
"Wow, Seireitei is really…boring" Rina sighed.
"…Yeah I know, okay let's find someone!" Tori exclaimed then walked off. It wasn't long before they found someone who recognized them.
"Where were you guys?" Kiyone asked them frantically. Ever since they had disappeared, 13th Division was a mess. Ukitake was sick, 3 people missing and 1 person about to be executed.
"Outdoor adventure." Mika answered.
"'Outdoor adventure'…" She repeated. The 3 nodded. "OOKKKAAAYYY…" she answered unconvinced.
"Aah!!! It's already this late?!" Hinamori exclaimed as she noticed what the time was. "Why didn't you wake me up Aizen-taichou?" She wondered as she dashed off, a meeting for the lieutenant's was about to start. "I'll just take a shortcut…" She ran through a narrow passageway, halfway up the staircase where Renji's and Ichigo's battle was. "I should be fine here." She thought as she ran past some buildings. A liquid trickled down the side of a building. It landed in a puddle of the same dark substance. The sound caught Hinamori's attention, she turned around and…
---
"Man, people worry too much." Mika complained.
"You're telling me…" Tori started. "They even got a light and tied us to our chairs to interrogate us!"
"KYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" A shriek rang through the air.
The 3 girls were wandering around and were quite close to where the scream was. They quickly ran towards the direction. Lieutenants that had heard the scream ran off as well. When they got there, they had thought their eyes had betrayed them. Up on the Holy Wall, skewered through the heart with his own sword, Aizen was pinned up onto the wall with his own blood trailing downwards.
"A-Aizen…Taichou…AIZEN-TAICHOU!!!" Hinamori shrieked into the air. She collapsed onto her knees from shock.
The 3 girls just arrived and saw the deceased Aizen. They were in complete utter shock, Aizen wasn't just a friend to them he was more of a father figure to them—he saved them from death when they were barely clinging to life in Rukongai.
"It sure is noisy in the mornin' wonder why…" All eyes turned to Ichimaru; wearing that grin of his, he was quite unaware of the situation. "Oh? Looks like we have a problem" He continued noticing Aizen. Hinamori could only see Ichimaru now, his grin made him suspicious. Her temper flared and she snapped.
"OMAE KA?! (was it you?!)" She yelled out then ran towards him drawing her sword. As she was about to make contact with him, Kira stepped in and blocked her.
"MOVE!!" She ordered him but he held his ground not moving at all. "MOVE!!" She ordered again, Kira wouldn't let her hurt his captain as he was the lieutenant of the 3rd Division. It didn't matter if he had moved or not, the next thing everyone knew, Rina, Tori and Mika charged head on towards Gin believing he was the culprit. They had repeated what Hinamori had done except this time they released their zanpakutou's. They swung down only to be blocked by Rangiku, Iba, and Hisagi.
"MOVE!!" They all yelled.
"Sheathe your sword!!" They yelled back. Kira had lost his focus on his battle with Hinamori; Hinamori used this as an advantage and released her zanpakutou.
"HAJIKE, TOBIUME!!"
"So this is what it has resorted to huh? Well then, OMOTE WO AGERO, WABISUKE!!" He released his zanpakutou giving him more power. Tobiume shot out a pink blast of her spiritual energy at him which left a crater behind. They were about to swing again when Hitsugaya stopped them. Other shinigami had arrived with him; they took hold of Hinamori, Kira, Rina, Tori, and Mika. Most of them were appalled at the sight before them.
"A-Aizen taichou…" One started.
"Get him down from there." Hitsugaya instructed them, they quickly set off.
"Have them arrested" He instructed, all 5 of them were led to their division's holding cells.
"So sorry, Juuban Taichou-san…you had to take care of my man too" Gin apologized in his own way.
"Ichimaru…" Hitsugaya started in a deathly serious voice.
"…You were going to kill them weren't you?" He asked enraged. Gin didn't understand what he was talking about.
"If you ever make any of them spill blood…I'll kill you!!" He threatened him then left without another word.
As the five were placed in jail, they couldn't stop thinking about the events that had just occurred. Hinamori was given a letter from Aizen found in his room from Rangiku. When she read the contents, she couldn't believe what it had said. Kira was deeply disappointed in himself for turning his sword on Hinamori. Suddenly the lights flicked on and Gin came by.
"I-Ichimaru taichou!" He said terrified. He smirked at the sight before and offered to release him.
---
Renji had woken up he just had his talk with Zabimaru and was ready to head out.
---
The 3 had removed the floorboards, turned over some dirt and there lay a strange seal of some sort.
"How much longer?" Tori asked Rina who was activating the seal.
"5 minutes at the max. I haven't done this in a long time ya know!"
"I know…"
---
"Sumimasen…" Hinamori said quietly to the guard.
The guard turned around and saw petals fluttering before him; Hinamori had a menacing look on her face. Before he knew it he had blacked out. Ichimaru and Kira were walking away; the cell door was unlocked leaving it quite suspicious. Renji knocked down the cell door while knocking out the guard in the process. The seal burst into a bright light which basically destroyed the wall. All 6 of them went off into the darkness unaware of what would come up ahead of them.
Kira walked silently behind his captain, quite petrified of the events that would occur.
"I've finally found you" A voice broke out of the darkness, both men stopped in their tracks. In front of them was none other than captain of the 10th Division. "I'm glad I came before Hinamori did…" He continued he was talking directly to Gin. All of the sudden Hinamori appeared in front of them with a grim face.
"I've finally found you…" She said exactly how Hitsugaya had said before.
"H-Hinamori! Wait, don't—" Hinamori pointed her sword at him. "Hinamori…" he muttered in shock quietly.
"…Aizen-taichou's, murderer!" She finished with tears brimming at the side of her eyes.
"What are you talking about?" He asked confused at the scene.
"Why? Why did you do it…Shiro-chan?" She asked as tears cascaded down her face. She screamed in fury, leaped, then swung her sword down with amazing force on Hyourinmaru.
"Hinamori! Would Aizen ever say that?! Would he want others to fight for him?!" He asked angrily at her. She was blinded by the spell of words that had been cast on her mind. She kept swinging down leaving no chance for Hitsugaya to use.
'How much of that letter was changed?' he wondered as he parried.
He found an opening and jumped into the air going for Gin. But Hinamori blocked his way with her sword ready to strike, since they were both in the air and didn't want to hurt her he kicked her down. She blacked out from the impact; Hitsugaya regretted doing such an act.
"How mean" Gin commented while having that smile plastered on his face.
"Ichimaru…how dare you…" He said in a grave voice clutching Hinamori's hand which was bleeding. "Driving Hinamori crazy that she clutches her sword so hard blood oozes out…" He turned around with a serious look on his face.
"Soten ni zase, HYOURINMARU!!" He roared as an arctic wind blew through. He swung his sword towards Gin; a dragon of ice flew out. "Kira move, I don't want you to get involved!" Hitsugaya instructed.
Kira was frightened and couldn't move, two captains were engaged in a battle—this was rare even in Seireitei. Gin was able to dodge the ice that had shot out; if it had hit him he would've been frozen. He moved in swift motions dodging every thrust of Hyourinmaru. When he thought he was safe we felt something wrap around his arm. The chain with the crescent-shaped blade had wound itself on his arm causing it to freeze. Gin smirked.
"Ikorose, Shinsou!" His zanpakutou extended longer and longer. Hitsugaya managed to get away from the path of the sword. "Are you sure you want to move?" Gin asked him while Shinsou kept growing. Hitsugaya saw what he meant; Hinamori's limp body was Shinsou's target!
"Hinamori!!" He yelled panicked; he ran to where her body lay but Shinsou was much faster than Hitsugaya. Instead of Shinsou's actual target, Shinsou met with another blade.
"Sheathe your sword Ichimaru; otherwise I will be your opponent." Rangiku said shakily, her sword was going to give away unless Ichimaru called back his zanpakutou. Gin frowned at the sight and called Shinsou back to its original form. He walked away as it were nothing.
"You know I think we're messing people up" Mika piped up as she and her 2 other friends were running away.
"What do you mean?" Tori inquired.
"Well first we disappear, then we reappear, get in jail and now we're leaving again!" Mika answered.
"Oh well, its more fun this way!" Rina commented.
"Yup!" Tori agreed. As the night started to fade away, all of them needed to find somewhere to hide. It wasn't long before people had realized all of them had escaped.
"Hey I heard Ken-chan got beaten!" Tori exclaimed.
"Really?" Mika asked suddenly getting interested. Tori nodded and wondered why Mika was so excited.
"Yes!! Here's my chance!!" She cheered then dashed off to wherever.
"Where are you going?" Rina asked her, she didn't answer her but kept going.
"She's probably going to recreate a scene from CSI or something, since there's a bloodied body there…" Tori answered while chasing after her friend. Rina sighed and trekked after her friends.
Hanatarou and Ganju finally reached their destination at the tower where Rukia was held. Ganju observed the door and concluded that it was a shutter-type door. Hanatarou took out a spare key from his bag. Ganju had asked him if that was okay, Hanatarou said it wasn't but he claimed that that was all he thought he could do to help out. As the door opened there stood Rukia surprised at the unexpected visitors.
"Rukia-chan!" Hanatarou greeted happily.
Ganju stood there wide-eyed, memories from his past flashed through his mind. Rukia noticed the symbol that Ganju had on him; she recognized that he was part of the Shiba clan. Hanatarou looked at both them and wondered if they knew each other. Ganju became reluctant to save her or not after all, she was the accused murderer of his older brother.
A tremendous reiatsu surrounded the area. All 3 of them looked out the exit to see whose spiritual energy it was. In the distance they could see someone approach them.
"N-Nii-sama…" Rukia said shakily.
Hanatarou told Ganju to get Rukia away from where they were he had decided himself he would go against Byakuya. Ganju had second thoughts, as Hanatarou headed out Ganju decided that he would go against Byakuya. He ran forward, Hanatarou looked back and discovered that Ganju was running head on to him. He was grabbed and thrown back towards Rukia as Ganju confronted Byakuya. He seemed pretty confident against Byakuya. Byakuya however had no interest in fighting someone with such a weak spiritual force. He swiftly sliced Ganju's arm, he then realized Ganju was a Shiba—a clan that once was of noble status. Byakuya decided to take him more seriously; Rukia was shocked at her older brother's actions as Ganju collapsed to the ground bloodied. She shouted out at him to stop. As he thrust the sword forward for the finishing blow, he was blocked. The sound of metal clashing rang out.
"Sheathe your sword, Kuchiki-taichou…onegaishimasu!" Rina pleaded, she had separated herself from her friends when she sensed his presence. He pulled back and threatened her to leave where she was. She didn't move but continued to guard the 3 behind her.
"If you won't move then…" He brought his sword forward and swung down, she was paralyzed with fear and couldn't block. She was lucky that Ukitake was out and about, he stopped Byakuya from hurting anyone else.
"Looks like I made it in time!" He said happily. "Hey Rukia, Rina! Been a while!" He continued. Byakuya managed to get out of Ukitake's grip and decided not to endanger any lives at the moment. Suddenly they felt another strong spiritual energy—it was clearly at captain level.
"…I don't realize whose it is though…" Ukitake said wondering who had such an immense spiritual energy. Rukia recognized it though.
"…Ichigo!" As she said that, Ichigo stood before her.
