"So, she could release Hollow form all along? But, only Ichigo Kurosaki can do that." Byakuya yelled in frustration.
Ichigo Kurosaki appeared just then and stopped suddenly, his fiancé, his lover, was unconscious and bleeding on the ground. He was upset like no other; he couldn't forgive anyone who did this to Rayona. He searched and saw Byakuya lounging around, near Rayona. He looked suspicious, confused, and tense, he looked frightening, and that ticked Ichigo off even more. He was growing into the inference that Byakuya did this to her. His anger raised, and raised, and raised, it was so high that he almost attacked Byakuya. He regained his self control and calmed his Spiritual Pressure, and then all of a sudden, Rayona started to wake up, her Spiritual Pressure rising slowly.
"Huh? R…Rayona? How, When did she start to wake up?" Ichigo muttered confused.
Rayona woke up fully and started to get up, suddenly she was looking at Ichigo, dead straight in the eyes. She could see the worry and just when she was going to say something, Ichigo blew her off. Byakuya, only watching from a distance, with a smirk on his face and his hands in his pockets, walked away silently. He had wanted nothing to do with them at this moment, so he decided to leave them be. Walking slowly, hands in his pockets, and his long hair flowing behind him, a familiar but scary silhouette to Rayona. Ichigo looked just as scary, eyes so serious, orange hair wind blown and strewn across his face, even though all of that, he hugged her tightly.
"You idiot! How could you do this? Why did you kill that Hollow? Baka! Why did you go as far as to keep our love stable?!" Ichigo spoke ferociously, hugging her tighter.
"WH-WHAT?! Why are you saying all these things all of a sudden? Ichigo why are you-"She broke off and fell partially limp and was clutching her right shoulder and right arm.
"What? Rayona?!" Ichigo caught her and sat her up "Honestly, you can be so reckless sometimes. You got to take more care of yourself." Ichigo explained cleaning and healing her wounds.
Ichigo is the nurturing type; he takes care of his loved ones and brings them back to health, though he may not look it. He's the only one who can fully recover anyone's strength and power. While Rayona was being tended to, Sayaku and Kana were just rounding the corner and they saw Rayona's wounds. They still came down on her with the words and the questions. Sayaku was furious, Kana pissed off and Rayona super confused, she couldn't hear them. They didn't project any sounds, no, she couldn't hear anything. What, why couldn't she… wait, she can hear now, everything, so much new sounds and their voices, so pure and new tones.
"Hello? Earth to Rayona? Are you there? Jeez, you sure pay attention now do you?" Kana giggled stiffly.
"AH! For you information I was fighting for my fiancé! Gosh! Some friends you are!" Rayona shrieked at Sayaku and Kana.
That shut them up real quick, and then when Rayona could, she got up, dusted herself off, and headed for a graveyard about 3 miles North of where they were. Rayona took in all the sights and scents of the forest all around her; she just loved the forest and especially the wild Cherry blossom trees. She saw Cherry Blossoms everywhere; she could just die in this peaceful environment all alone with Ichigo. She decided that Ichigo would come with her so she called him and they set off to the cemetery. She could see it just now, a small cemetery about 300 feet ahead so she ran all the way there. She was out of breath but she still walked quickly, Ichigo had to stop her because he couldn't breathe.
"It's okay, wait here and I'll be right back, I promise." Rayona giggles sweetly.
Ichigo blushed slightly and stuttered while speaking. "Uh-uh-uh, o… okay... Rayona." Ichigo blushed and Rayona giggled in amusement.
Rayona skipped and bounces her way to the entrance, the entrance of Elinao) Cemetery. She twirled and whirled all the way towards the middle and carefully pranced over to the 9th section and the 23rd gravestone. She caressed the gravestone and then sat down in front of it, looking lonely. She bowed her head and said a little prayer, when she was done; she got up and kissed the gravestone. She started to cry and Ichigo was hugging her and finally she stopped, wiped away her tears away and smiled. She was sad yet happy, the gravestone was her own child's, she had given birth to a baby boy and it died a short while later. His name was Yashido Jiro Kurosaki, 3 days old, died of heart failure, Rayona didn't even acknowledge that he was their first and only child.
When she finally settled down she took Ichigo's hand and they walked towards the entrance and paused. Ichigo kissed her and said only 3 words, I Love You, and then kept walking. Hand in hand, they were so cute, a noble and a commoner, Captain and Substitute Captain, Female and Male. Their love for each other bound them together for all of eternity. They didn't even notice that they were being followed; they were being followed by Hollows of course. Lurching in the bushes, trees and hiding behind gravestones, everywhere. They wanted revenge, but before a single one of them moves, they were being killed, one by one by one. Who was killing them was no one other than Kana, Sayaku, and Byakuya, to keep the peace between the two lovers. It's strange; they lived happily for a few years but chaos exploded everywhere in the Seireitei, explosions and hollow attacks. The Captains were shocked and the head Captain, Captain-Commander Yamamoto were in a hustle to purify the hollows and contain the explosions.
"Alright everyone in squad 6! All of you get ready to fight those damn bastards who dare attack the Seireitei! Now, are you ready?!" Rayona yelled at he squad members at their barracks.
"Captain Kuchiki! I think I know why the explosions are taking place and the hollows getting into the Seireitei!" Lieutenant Izuru Kira of her squad said.
"Ah, lieutenant Kira, what is it, what do you want to talk about?" Rayona asked her lieutenant looking concerned since he was injured badly rather recently.
She looked at him concerned; he has been acting strangely since his former captain of his former squad betrayed the Soul Society, he had been in squad 3 but he was transferred to squad 6 after Captain Gin Ichimaru was killed by Sōsuke Aizen. She felt pity for him, he lost his Captain to someone as awful as that, but she snapped out of her thoughts and started yelling commands, he didn't deserve this. He was so sweet and she didn't know how tell him that it was alright without Gin Ichimaru around. He surprised her at times with his wonderful leadership skills and his kid style; she had never seen anyone more suited to be a Captain than him. She smiled at him and made him blush, she forgave him for the sins he made but she had to remind herself that no one could be perfect so she looked up and started giggling to herself. She knew now that Izuru was going to be a success, he was smart, handsome, talented, and downright lucky, he has a Captain who cares about his feelings, he got the best grades when he was in school, but most of all, he was one step away from Bankai. She smiled at him again and they proceeded to head for the explosion site when right next to them another one went off, Izuru got away without any injuries because Rayona pushed him out of the way and set up a Kido barrier to protect him. But Rayona got burned badly; she was at the center of the explosion when it happened, when the smoke had cleared but when dust was still blocking her sight, she was lying on the ground, clothing burnt so bad it barely came to mid thigh and her top was so low her breasts were about to be exposed but covered in burns and she almost dead. She couldn't breathe and when the dust cleared she saw a Zanpaktu spirit in its materialized form, she recognized it, and it was Shūhei Hisagi's Zanpaktu, Kazeshini. So the Zanpaktu's were behind this, they were attacking them, rebelling against their masters and trying to kill other Soul Reapers to regain their friends back again, one mistake, Captain Rayona Kuchiki wasn't letting her Zanpaktu lose it's senses. She faintly smiled and struggled to sit up, struggling and she suddenly plunged her hand into his stomach and by that time a ton of Soul Reapers were trying to help her but she got up and tied him up. She had some other Soul Reapers carry him and she confronted Shūhei about controlling his Zanpaktu, she was still badly injured but she held together until she got back to her squad barracks, then she collapsed inside the gates.
"Captain Kuchiki, what's wrong, are you okay?!" Everyone yelled from all around her.
"I... I'm fine you guys, don't worry about me but, speak to your Zanpaktu, see if it's still with you otherwise… It'll be too late to save you guys." Rayona said then she passed out from lack of blood and 4th degree burns, panting hard and blood coming out of her mouth.
