When Rukia looks up, she sees none other than Ulquiorra.
"Let go! I have to save her." Rukia shouts, trying to get out of his hold.
"No." Ulquiorra says, glaring at Rukia. She goes still from surprise.
"What!" Rukia mutters.
"This has to be her choice." Ulquiorra says, looking over at Kanashii. He lets go of her. "This decides her whole future. So, stay put, and see what happens." He says. Rukia wipes her eyes as tears begin to roll down her face.
*You can do it!* Rukia mentally mutters.
"Kanashii." She whispers. Over the next ten minutes, Kanashii continues to sit there.
Meanwhile, whilst all this is happening, Kanashii is within her inner world.
Eleven minutes earlier, Kanashii opens her eyes to be face-to-face with her sword spirit, Darigan. Who is a black horse with a horn and wings as well as bright blue eyes. Kanashii goes down on one knee, and bows her head.
"Master." Kanashii says. Darigan flicks his tail, which causes Kanashii to flinch.
"What have I told you about bringing me forth?" Darigan demands in a annoyed voice.
"Forgive me." Kanashii says in a quiet voice.
"You knew you were walking into a fight you couldn't win, and yet you still went and called me. I am very disappointed!" Darigan says, sounding genuinely angry.
"I knew I was going into a useless fight, but I also knew that I had to save Rukia." Kanashii says, glaring up at Darigan.
"That so." Darigan says. Kanashii nods her head, and after a short silence, she lifts her head to see Darigan with a sad look on his face. "So you would sacrifice your life for that of your friends?" Darigan asks.
"Yes." Kanashiii says as she stands up, and puts a hand on Darigan's side...on account that his back is taller than Kanashii is. "I would do anything to save them." Kanashii says in a whisper.
"Very well. I shall let you completely summon me, but you must realize that the chance that you could die is 99.9% guaranteed." Darigan says, watching Kanashii carefully.
"..."
"You must be completely ready for this." Darigan continues. Kanashii gets a glint in her eyes, and smiles.
"Let's do this!" She shouts.
"Very well." Darigan says.
Meanwhile, Rukia watches as Kanashii suddenly closes her eyes. Kanashii stands up, and reverts her scythe's back to their original form, and sheathes it.
"Giving up?" Aizen's eyes widen. "WHAT-"
"THE-"
"HELL!" Rukis yells. They shout as they see tears falling down Kanashii's face. She turns to look at Rukia.
"Goodbye...my dear friend." Kanashii says with a sad smile.
*NO!* Rukia mentally shouts. Kanashii turns a stern look at Aizen, and as she does, she draws her sword.
"Kitsuna no Darigan!" Kanashii yells as she unsheathes her sword. A blinding light suddenly shines out of nowhere. When it goes away, standing where Kanashii had been a moment before is someone wearing a black hooded clock holding a giant scythe...basically, the grim reaper. Rukia's now busting out in tears.
"You can do it, Kanashii." Rukia says in a sad voice. Kanashii runs towards Aizen, and attacks him. They fight for a while, when suddenly, Kanashii cuts Aizen across the chest. He falls backwards holding a hand over his chest. He hits the wall, slides down it, leaving a trail of blood, and sits down.
"She..." He spits blood out of his mouth. "Actually beat me." He whispers as Ulquiorra runs over to him, and teleports the two of them out of there. Rukia sighs in relief, but gasps as soon as she sees Kanashii spit out blood, and fall to her knees.
"Kanashii!" Rukia shouts. Kanashii holds a hand out to stop Rukia from coming any closer. Rukia stops, and suddenly, a wall nearby explodes, and Byakuya, Unohana, Kayame, Insane, Renji, Rengiku, and Toshiro come rushing in. As soon as Kanashii sees them, she falls to her knees, and her advanced Bankai disappears. Renji rushes towards her, only to get stopped by Byakuya, and Toshiro had to restrain Kayame.
You made it." Kanashii says just before she blacks out, and collapses to the ground.
