Chapter Ten - Comet

When Denkihime clashed with Garren's katana, there was a deafening cling through-out the hall. They both glared at each other, eyes cold.

"How dare you." Garren spat.

Aira swept under and knocked Garren off her feet, ready to bring Denkihime down but the blade instead hit the cold tile of the hall, cracking it a little.

Garren stood on the other side of the hall, leaning against the wall casually, but Aira could see the surprise in her eyes.

"It seems I underestimated you, love." Garren sneered.

"Seems so." Aira brought Denkihime up before standing up straight with her Zanpaktou at her side.

"Shall I release my own Zanpaktou?" Garren smiled whistfully. "And then, I'll cut you down and devour your cute little pet over there."

Aira looked back to where Nova was laying, knocked out on the cold floor.

She growled. "Like you could."

"Oh, I plan to." Garren twirled around, smiling.

She pulled her Zanpaktou out of it's sheath.

"Saezuru." She whispered. "Ryuu Onpu."

Her Zanpaktou glowed pink and then it was too bright for Aira to see. When Aira turned back around and the light was gone, she glared at the Arrancar.

Garren now had on a short white skirt with pink seams and a skimpy white top that barely covered her chest. She wore high-heel boots that went all the way up her knees and elbow-length white gloves. Her hair was longer than it was before, reaching her back in golden waves. Her eyes shown a dark blue, only one visable behind the heart-shaped mask that now covered her whole head except for one side of her face.

"Well, aren't you ready to head to the corner?" Aira whispered.

"What was that?" Garren demanded.

"Nothing, just commenting on how lovely you look." Aira said sarcastically. "For a five-dollar prostitute."

Garren growled at Aira before smiling again. "Well, let's just see what you're little masked man thinks about it, ne?"

"Don't you-"

"Oh, I won't touch him." She smirked. "But...there's no guarentee he won't touch me."

She raised her arm to her lips, blowing air past a shell-like thing on her wrist. Suddenly, it created a pretty little sound.

Aira glanced back at Nova, smiling when he didn't move.

"I wouldn't be so happy yet, darling." Garren said before continuing.

Suddenly, Nova's arm twitched. Aira's eyes grew wide as his arm bent so he could support his weight, and stand.

"Nova, no!" She blocked his way.

But his eyes were cold. They weren't her Nova's eyes, because they looked straight through her.

He removed his mask, throwing it to the side. He walked drunkenly towards Garren.

Aira pushed at him, trying to get him to go back, but he kept going forward with unbelievable strength. Finally, he just swiped her with his right arm, making her fly into the wall.

She didn't dare stay down for long. She jumped out of the rubble that was the wall and stared, wide-eyed at him as Garren held her hand out. He walked right up to her, taking her hand.

She pulled him to her side and held his hand, smiling at Aira.

Aira ignored the tears in her eyes, only seeing Nova. She had to get him out of his daze. She had to get him back.

But then she saw him look at her.

What? She nearly yelled with her mind. No!

He ripped his hand from hers and kicked her straight in the stomach, throwing her all the way back down to the end of the hall. He ran to Aira instantly.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly.

"What the hell Nova?!" She demanded.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you so hard..." He pleaded with her.

"I don't give a shit about that!" Aira grabbed his collar. "Now you get back there and sit still while I beat this chick's ass!"

She pulled him around and against the wall. She pressed her lips to his briefly before releasing him.

"I am so going to yell at you later!" She called over her shoulder.

Aira flashstepped to where Garren was trying to stand. She growled at the girl with demeaning eyes.

"Okay, now that you've really pissed me off, I think I'm just going to skip the fun and make this quick." She yelled.

"Bankai!" She screamed. "Jouchaku Soushite Denka, Denkihime!"

Denkihime scattered into it's millions of electrified blades in front of Garren's eyes, making them glow with the electricity.

"You'll regret the day you messed with him." Aira said softly, rage filling her every word as she looked down at the ground.

She flicked her head up and held her hand out, some of the blades gathering in a ball at her finger-tips.

Garren jumped into the air, but Aira caught her foot and slammed her back down into the ground before Garren even had a chance to notice what was happening. Aira stomped on Garren's arm, crushing the sea-shell looking thing and breaking a bone or two. Then she kicked the Arrancar in the head, cracking her mask.

"May death take pity on you." Aira whispered, her eyes now filling with grief.

She flipped her arm down, bringing the blades down quickly.

But they hit the ground.

Garren struck her from behind. Aira felt the force all the way down to her toes and then feeling her ankle crack, she fell to the ground.

Over and over again, Garren struck Aira.

"Den-Denki-Denkihime!" Aira cried desperately.

The blades swirled around Garren but she released a reiatsu that pushed them away from her.

"Do you know who I am, you ungrateful little pig?" Garren demanded. "I'm Privaron Espada! You can't defeat me so easily!"

Aira crawled back up against the wall, her eyes wide as Garren drew her Cero into her mouth.

"Kuso..." Aira glanced back to where Nova was, but he wasn't there.

Good, maybe he left. Hopefully he got out of here.

That's when Aira felt a whoosh. Suddenly, a dark figure was in front of her. She realized it was Nova. He had his shield in front of him, the Cero disappearing into his dimention.

When the Cero haulted, he reached around and grabbed her, about to escape into his dimention when Garren grabbed him by the hair, pulling him back.

He cried out in pain as Aira reached desperately for him.

"You, you little ass." Garren insulted him as she held him by his hair a foot of the ground. "I called you cute and you kick me? What kind of thanks is that?"

She threw Nova at the wall, his body smashing straight through it before she turned back to Aira.

"You only got lucky that time." She told her. "This time, not so much."

Aira looked desperately over at Nova's unmoving figure, her eyes filling. She felt anger boiling up inside her, pain gathering up behind it.

And then Garren released her Cero.

When she was done, she closed her mouth. She smiled down at Aira. And then her eyes grew wide.

Aira was surrounded by almost purple-looking glowing blades, staring dazedly at the ground. Her eyes were dark as she held the hilt of her Zanpaktou out, Denkihime obediantly gathered into one.

"Taking advantage of him is one thing." She whispered as she rose to her feet, her eyes still on the ground. "But now you've hurt him. And now I don't think I can control myself like I had before."

"What?" Garren demanded.

"Don't 'what?' me." Aira finally lifted her head, showing that her eyes were now glowing with the same purple electricity that the blades had held. "I can't promise a painless death, but this will be quick."

Aira threw her Zanpaktou into the air, sheathless. She fully released her Spiritual Pressure, knocking Garren back a couple feet. She drew electricity to the palms of her hands before uniting them over her head, feeling when her Zanpaktou was caught inside the blue field.

"What...are you?" Garren whispered.

"A really pissed off girlfriend." Aira answered coldly.

She glared down at the disshelved Arrancar with her purple, glowing eyes, her face filled with fury.

"Scatter Massacre!" She screamed.

She threw the electricity and Denkihime forward, the blades scattering again, this time into millions of full-size katana's and filled with the exact same electricity.

Every single one of them pierced Garren, going straight through her. She let out an ear piercing scream as she disintigrated into little pieces.

Aira drew Denkhime back to her before she threw back her head and sighed, wiped out. Then she remembered....

Nova.

She ran to his motionless figure, panicing when she saw that he wasn't breathing.
