The scream of agony echoed through all of Hueco Mundo, making Aizen and Gin's fight pause for just a moment as they observed what had happened.
Grimmjow screamed and sobbed, holding Ichigo's lifeless body to him as blood and tears pooled around them both.
Nnoitra's strength had finally given out and he slumped to the ground, holding his mid section and swearing quietly.
Hichigo watched the life leave his King and felt a soft tug in the back of his mind, "Damn…" his pain disappeared and he lay down, closing his black and gold eyes as death took him too.
Aizen watched with light bemusement as Grimmjow howled curses at the heavens, demanding to get Ichigo back.
Gin lowered his sword slightly and felt his usual smile vanish to be replaced with a strange expression.
Nobody noticed the soft footsteps that padded quickly towards them, a small sound of metal against cloth awoke Aizen from his day dream as a sword came out of nowhere and slammed down on his shoulder, sinking deep into the flesh and cracking the bone.
Izuru Kira drew his sword out of the Traitor's shoulder and leaped to Gin's side, "Hello, Taichou."
"Izuru-chan! Right on time." Gin purred, sheathing his sword.
Aizen opened his mouth to snarl something nasty and rather rude when the remainder of the wall behind then crashed down and nine Captains rushed in, swords drawn and gleaming for blood.
