And so the fighters flung themselves at each other and the battle began.
Apacci ran up and swung her fist at Kiba but he blocked. Then she swung her leg up at his head, but he blocked once again.
Then Kiba reached down and wrapped his arms around Apacci then he picked her up and tossed her to the ground. She did a flip in the air and landed on her face.
She quickly picked herself up and faced him.
"C'mon baby." Said Kiba." is that all you got."
"I'm a lot of things." Said Apacci."But I'm sure as hell not your baby." Then she ran up and swung her fist at Kiba, but he dodged. Then she swung again and he dodged."Stop dodging me!" Shouted Apacci as she swung again and Kiba dodged.
"What." Said Kiba."It looks like we're dancing. I thought all you broads like to dance." Another murderous glare hit Apacci's eyes. Then she jumped up in the air screaming at the top of her lungs. Then she came down on Kiba. But Kiba quickly dodged.
Not too far away Neji noticed what was going on.
"Those two are really going at it." Said Sung-Sun."Your friend is very good at making her mad." Neji turned his head and looked at her.
"Yea, he enjoys annoying people." Told Neji."He's an idiot like that."
"And your all not like that?" asked Sung-Sun with an obvious tone in her voice.
"Like I said." Said Neji."I'm a gentleman." Sung-Sun covered her mouth with her sleeve.
Meanwhile Mila Rose ran up and swung her sword at Shikamaru, who easily dodged. Then she swung again but Shikamaru did a forward roll avoiding the sword as it slashed across the ground.
Shikamaru then turned put his arm in the dirt and jumped up to one knee.
"Coward." Said Mila Rose."Are you afraid to fight me?"
"It's so troublesome." Groaned Shikamaru.
"What?" asked Mila Rose.
"I'd much prefer to not fight." Said Shikamaru."Certainly there are other things we could do."
"Like what?" asked Mila Rose.
"I don't know." Replied Shikamaru."Sit here and talk?" But Mila Rose didn't appear to agree on that." The truth is, everywhere I go, on missions I usually end up fighting a girl." Mila Rose looked up at him with a raised brow."And I hate it." Said Shikamaru rising to his feet.
"Why do you always lose?" asked Mila Rose.
"No I've won." Replied Shikamaru."And I usually do so while inflicting the least pain on the women as possible."
"Not possible." Replied Mila Rose."I'd like to see you try that on me."
"You'll see soon enough." Said Shikamaru.
"We'll see about that." Said Mila Rose. Then she flung herself at Shikamaru. But this time he pulled out a knife and stood his ground. Then when Mila Rose attacked and him he blocked it.
"If you'll indulge me." Said Shikamaru as he kept his knife against Mila Rose's sword."I didn't catch your name?"
Mila Rose quickly drew back from Shikamaru.
"I am a member of Halibel's fraccion, I am Mila Rose.
Then with Naruto and Halibel.
Halibel ran up and swung her sword at Naruto but he dodged, then she swung again and he dodged. Then she swung a third time and he ducked. Then Naruto sprung up attempting to uppercut Halibel, but at the last minute he averted his punch to the right.
Then Halibel jumped back and Naruto prepared himself for another attack.
"I don't understand." Said Halibel."Why don't you draw your zanpaktou?"
"What is that?" asked Naruto. Halibel held up her sword.
"This." She told.
"I don't know how it is where your from but here we fight with our fists." Told Naruto.
"Your fists won't be enough to stop me." Said Halibel.
"We'll see." Said Naruto." Who knows you might be surprised."
"Doubtful." Replied Halibel. Halibel ran forward and swung her sword at Naruto but he dodged, hten he swung his leg up but Halibel stepped back dodging it. Meanwhile with Naruto vs Halibel.
Halibel swung her sword at Naruto but he ducked, then he swung his fist at her. But hen Halibel dodged then kicked Naruto . But he put his arms up and blocked, then retorted by swinging his fist at her. Halibel wasn't able to dodge, she put up her arms and blocked. Naruto hit her and she was sent sliding back sliding threw the ground. Halibel took this quick moment to look around and see how her fraccion was doing.
"I recommend you and your friends take this fight more seriously." Said Halbiel. Naruto looked over his shoulder to check on his friends." They aren't up against any other arrancars, and you." She said causing Naruto to look back at her." Aren't either." She then casually lifted up her shirt slightly. Naruto covered his eyes quickly. After moments of shielding himself Naruto looked up to see a three tattooed on Halibel's right breast." I am the third strongest espada."
"Very nice body Art." He nervously replied." But I wouldn't count my friends out just yet. We're more than capable fighters."
Meanwhile with Neji and Sung-sun.
"So?" asked Sung-Sun."If you are a gentleman, how would you plan to fight me?"
"I don't." said Neji. Sung-Sun looked surprised but covered it in her sleeve."I'll just give you the chance to surrender."
"Then what if I refuse?" asked Sung-Sun.
"I'll do whatever it takes to win, without hurting you in the process."
"Do you think I can't fight or defend myself?" asked Sung-Sun.
"I'm very aware of what you can do." Replied Neji as he looked around."I've seen your comrades are giving my friends a run for their money."
He looked over and saw Apacci send herself swinging her fists at Kiba.
"Tell me." Said Neji. Sung-Sun looked at him."Is your friend over there always like that?" he asked pointing to Apacci as she attacked Kiba.
"Yes." Replied Sung-Sun."She's very brash, loud, arrogant and enjoys to fight." Neji let out a slight chuckle."What's so funny?" she asked.
"She should stop punching my friend and go one a date with him." Told Neji."Those two were made for each other."
"Your comrade is the same way?" asked Sung-Sun.
"Just watch." Said Neji nodding his head. And then the two turned to the battle of Kiba vs. Apacci.
At that moment Apacci swung her fist at Kiba but he blocked.
"C'mon baby is that all you got." He said mockingly. But then Apacci reached up and scratched Kiba across the face.
He let out a scream and stumbled back holding his face.
"You like that Mr. Man?" asked Apacci. Kiba then slowly turned back to Apacci with three scratches across his forehead.
"I like 'em fiery." Said Kiba. Then he got into his fighting stance ready to take this battle to another level."C'mon sweetheart, come to daddy." Then Kiba gave a malicious smile to which Apacci replied with her own and then charged Kiba.
Meanwhile Mila Rose swung her sword at Shikamaru but he blocked. Then she swung again and Shikamaru blocked. Then Shikamaru jumped backwards away from Mila Rose.
Mila Rose jumped out of the way dodging the attack.
"Don't tell me you intend to beat me like that." Said Mila Rose.
"Like I said." Said Shikamaru."I'd rather not fight you at all, I'd much prefer if we'd reconcile and go about this more peacefully. It's too troublesome to fight."
"I just think you're afraid to fight me." Replied Mila Rose."Afraid for your pride. All men fear being beaten by a woman."
"Is that what you think?" asked Shikamaru. Mila Rose nodded.
"Very well." Said Shikamaru. Mila Rose raised an eyebrow. Then Shikamaru discarded his knife to the ground beside him."I give up." He said."Do what you gotta do." He said putting his hands in his pockets.
Mila Rose was confused by this. Her opponent had given up, or perhaps it was some sort of trick. Either way she was going to find out.
She ran up bearing her sword at Shikamaru, but he stood there unfazed. Mila Rose was approaching him fast now; she raised her sword up and prepared to strike him. Shikamaru shut his eyes as she stood before him. Then Mila Rose brought her sword down, Shikamaru sat there and waited however the blow never came. He opened his eyes and saw her sword standing just before his face.
"Why won't you fight?" asked Mila Rose. Then she lowered her sword."Why won't you move?" Shikamaru did not reply but looked at her.
"It seems I've figured you out." He said.
"How, how did you do it?" asked Mila Rose.
"You wanted to fight me, and prove yourself better because you're a woman." Told Shikamaru."By my not replying to fight, striking me down wouldn't prove anything."
"What if I were to just kill you now." said Mila Rose raising her sword.
"So do it." Said Shikamaru."Here I stand." He raised his arms up and prepared for a blow that wouldn't come."So what now?" asked Shikamaru after a few moments of waiting. Mila Rose took a deep breath.
"How about that talk?" she asked, then she smiled at Shikamaru.
At that moment Kiba swung his fist at Apacci but she ducked under his arm and punched him in the ribs, then a second time. But then Kiba elbowed her on the top of her head, and then kneed her in the chin.
But then Apacci lunged forward and tackled Kiba to the ground. But then Kiba kicked up his legs and pushed her off of him.
The two quickly got up from off the ground and engaged each other again. The two stood there arms locked looking at each other with malicious smiles.
"How you holding up sweetie?" asked Kiba.
"Bah don't call me that." Said Apacci not breaking her smile.
"Nonsense, you will never know if you are attractive, it's up to a man to tell you that." Replied Kiba. Just then Apacci lifted her leg up and kicked Kiba in the groin.
Kiba dropped from her and held his area as he began stumbling around. Then Apacci ran up and kicked Kiba in the chest, and he fell back onto the ground.
"How was that 'Daddy'?" she said mockingly.
Meanwhile with Shikamaru and Mila Rose. The two sat in the grass looking at each other, talking about themselves so the other could get to know them.
"So what is it you do?" asked Mila Rose to Shikamaru.
"My job is to carry out missions for the Hokage of the leaf village." Explained Shikamaru.
"And that's your leader?" asked Mila Rose. Shikamaru nodded.
"She's a woman by the way." Added Shikamaru.
"Well I'd like to meet her." Chuckled Mila Rose.
"I'm sure you would." Said Shikamaru with a laugh.
"I have to say Shikamaru you are different from all the other men I've met." Told Mila Rose."Your smarter and more proper."
"How so?" asked Shikamaru.
"All the other men I've met have tried to take advantage of men in some way or another." Said Mila Rose." They've all only been looking out for themselves. They behave a lot like your friend over there." She said pointing to Kiba. Shikamaru looked over and saw his friend fighting Apacci.
"Yes but he's just an idiot." Said Shikamaru with a smile." But I can relate to what you're saying." He said.
"What do you mean?" asked Mila Rose.
"Most women I've met are so troublesome. They're pushing, loud, annoying and to troublesome for me." Replied Shikamaru as he held his head from the thought of it.
"To you it sounds like everything's a problem." Said Mila Rose.
"I got 99 problems but a girl ain't one." Said Shikamaru, causing Mila Rose to laugh and Shikamaru laughed with her. But then she became serious and looked him straight in the eye.
"You ever think it might be time to change that?" she asked. Shikamaru gulped from her question which caused her to chuckle.
Back with Neji and Sung-Sun.
"You know everyone else is battling." Said Sung-Sun."We should probably do the same." Neji looked around and saw only Halibel and Naruto were really battling.
Shikamaru and Mila Rose were having a conversation while Kiba and Apacci seemed to be more of going back and forth in with the other in what was more like a dance between the two brutes.
"I'd say there's no point now." Replied Neji."Everyone else has settled down."
At that moment Halibel swung her sword at Naruto and she slashed him across the shoulder, but then Naruto extended his leg out and kicked Halibel in the knee, then again in the stomach.
Then Halibel lunged at him again, this time Naruto grabbed the hilt of her sword and the two began pulling for it.
"Your friends don't appear to be taking this fight seriously." Commented Halibel.
"We've never been in a situation like this." Replied Naruto."They're trying to go about this the easiest way possible."
"And how's that?" asked Halibel as she lunged forward knocking Naruto off her sword.
"In the easiest way possible." Replied Naruto.
"There is no easy way when fighting." Said Halibel. Naruto looked over her shoulder and saw the same things that Neji. Then Naruto smiled."What are you smiling at?" asked Halibel.
"It seems that's already been done." Said Naruto. Halibel then turned around and saw for herself.
She noticed how kindly her fraccion were acting towards their opponents.
"You've got to be kidding." Sighed Halibel. Then she turned to Naruto."How is it that those three managed to change the three most hard-headed female hollows in Hueco Muendo."
Naruto was baffled by the Hueco muendo statement as he didn't know what that was, but he answered.
"Well Kiba's got mad swag." commented Naruto. Halibel let out another sigh and then looked away.
Then she waved her sword in the air and then a portal opened.
"Mila Rose, Apacci, Sung-Sun to me." She called. The three female hollows turned to their leader.
They each took a look at their male opponent. Each needed to follow their leader but didn't want to leave just yet.
Apacci dropped her guard before Kiba, to which male ninja raised an eyebrow. Then Apacci looked over at Halibel who was waiting, and then she looked back at Kiba. Then she turned and walked off.
"Well Mr. Hyuuga." said Sung-Sun as she walked up to him."It's been a pleasure talking to you. But it looks like this is goodbye."
Neji said to her."Perhaps one day our paths will lead us to each other someday Ms. Sung-Sun."
"Perhaps they shall." Replied Sung-Sun."But please don't call me Ms."
"Deal." Said Neji. Then he grabbed her hand, brought it to his mouth and kissed it."Until we meet again." He said. Sung-Sun brought her other sleeve to her face to hide her blush.
"I understand now what you meant by being a gentleman." She said.
"Hueco Muendo will feel different after this." Said Mila Rose to Shikamaru. She hung her head a little."I wish this didn't have to end, but I guess this is goodbye."
"Well you know goodbyes aren't forever." Said Shikamaru. Just then Mila Rose jumped up and kissed Shikamaru on the lips.
Then when she was done she quickly walked past him. Shikamaru wiped his mouth with a happy daze on his face.
Then the female hollows all jumped into the portal, while their male opponents gather together and watched them go off.
Halibel turned back to Naruto.
"I'll admit." She said in her regular tone." You've surprised me Naruto." Naruto gave her a smile as she turned and walked off.
Halibel was the last to enter but had a slight smile on her face as she glanced back at Naruto. Kiba, Neji, and Shikamaru came to Naruto's side.
Then slowly the portal began to close, and the retreating image of the other group began to vanish. The wind began to blow causing the boys' hair and cloths to move in the wind, but they didn't look away as the arrancars looked back at them.
Just then Apacci put her hands over her mouth and shouted "CALL ME!" And then the portal shut and that was the last thing anyone said.
The boys then stood together in the aftermath.
"Call me?" repeated Naruto to Kiba.
"What are you gonna do Daddy?" asked Shikamaru to Kiba mockingly as he patted his friend on the back.
"Daddy done played that game boys." Replied Kiba."Question is what are you going to do about that one." He said pointing to Shikamaru.
"But they had the right idea." Said Neji."Let's go home." The other three boys nodded and then they all made their way back to the leaf village.
Meanwhile the female hollows appeared back in Hueco Muendo. There in the throne room sat Aizen and the other espada.
"Ah so you've returned." Said Aizen. The women stepped out of the portal and into the room."And how was it."
"Eventful." Said Sung-Sun hiding her face behind her sleeve.
"Well don't be so quiet." Said Aizen."What was it like there?"
"What were the fighters like?" asked Nnortia.
"They were something else." Said Mila Rose with a smile.
"What do you mean?" asked Zommari.
"I wouldn't recommend invading there Master Aizen." Said Halibel."The fighters there are too strong." Aizen looked to the other espada and back to Halibel.
"As you wish." He said. Then Halibel and her fraccion began walking as the eyes of the other espada fell on them.
"But." Said Halibel as she stopped walking. Aizen raised his head and looked at her. Halibel walked back and stood before him.
"If you ever need somebody to go back there." She said."My fraccion and I volunteer." Halibel then glanced back at her fraccion who all had the same gleaming looks in their eyes.
