Chapter 6

Somewhere in Hueco mundo

"Noelle! Please stop fidgeting?" said Yuzu to Noelle patiently while waiting to see if they returned.

"I can't Yuzu!, don't you think that we should have left someone with them?" said Noelle, continuing frantically, "I am saying that I or you or even Karin alone could have defeated them and watched out for their return?"

"Yes Noelle, we could have done that, but the doing it like this is easier to draw and bait takhashi or even one of his mindless Espada comrades and get them to talk about what they are up to now" said Karin "and I can't actually believe that you are worried! I thought you were tougher than that?" Karin said, teasingly.

"I AM tough!" said Noelle indignantly "it's just that I don't wanna loose Him again"

"You mean you don't wanna loose him And Zaraki Kenpachi right?" teased Yuzu

"Huh?" said Noelle confusedly "what's Kenpachi gotta do with it?"

"You mean you actually don't know? You didn't notice th….." "That's enough" Karin cut off Yuzu as she was informing Noelle that she actually thought Noelle was in love with Kenpachi.

"We can talk about that later but for now, lets greet our guests who are currently standing at our door step." said Karin and with that she turned and attacked the nearest Menos with a ferocity that could rival a dragons'

And with that, the battle started, with both Noelle's and Yuzu's mind at ease from their older sisters reassuring but that case was an exception for Karin who was having an internal dilemma with her zanpakuto.

Karin's POV

What if they don't follow the instructions Nantekotta*? You know how Ichigo and the other captains can get, mainly Kenpachi and Soi Fon

Yamamato will stop them, don't worry mistress.

How will he do that if he doesn't trust us?

I gained the trust of Ryujin Jakka and all the other Zanpakutos while we were there in the last 2 months, if they didn't already trust us since, unlike their masters, they are aware of what is happening.

Lets just hope that all this will be over soon, Noelle was right, I couldn't bear to lose another member of my family, especially Him, if he is gone, we will be all crushed, but no one will be crushed more than Noelle, she willingly gave up her time to protect him unknowingly, while Yuzu and I were around him all the time.

Nothing in life is fair Karin, but this will turn out well Karin, I can sense it.

Lets just hope that your gut sense is correct.

Just concentrate on the battle for now Karin.

Note: when I said that I will cut Isshin out from the story I meant that he is no longer a captain at the Gotei 13, he still informed Ichigo about his sisters disappearance and he is still an ex-shinigami captain but he didn't rejoin the Gotei 13, instead he stayed at the real world, waiting for news about his daughters, even at the persistence of Ichigo, he still said he preferred to stay at the real world next to his dear Masaki's grave

Nantekotta: this is Karin's zanpakuto and it literally means "hell fire"

Note 2: Karin and Noelle are both the tough ones in the group

They are always sarcastic and they always have a grin or smirk on their faces, they are also short tempered and when they are angry they are frightening. They are overly protective of their family and would do anything to protect them.

Yuzu on the other hand, is the sweet tempered one, she is as tough as Noelle but she hates fighting and will fight only if necessary, she is the cheerful one and always has a smile on her face.

Level of power: Karin strongest

Noelle stronger

Yuzu strong
