(Place disclaimer here) I think that should say a lot ? o.o Thanks mizu for the review ! :D

"Kanda Yu?!" Hitsugaya asked, bewildered.

"Uh, yea, Shorty-whitey." Kanda smirked at the annoyed look on Hitsugaya's face.

"Kanda, Hitsugaya-taichou, Matsumoto, look out, you're in the way of the --" Renji stopped in mid air.

Matsumoto turned around to look at Renji, just in time to see Zabimaru shooting towards her.

"R-Renji?"

"Matsumoto!" Hitsugaya yelled.

"Taicho?" Matsumoto looked behind her, to see that her captain's bankai had been activated without her knowledge, and the ice wings were blocking something from her view.

Seconds later, the wings were covered in dark stars.

"Teme…" Hitsugaya cursed as his bankai shattered and he fell to the ground.

"Taicho!" Matsumoto shouted in horror.

Suddenly, the Akuma appeared right behind her. Before any of the other Shinigami could react, a gun rang in the silent night, and dark stars appeared on Matsumoto, starting first from the nape of her neck, before slowly progressing to the rest of her body.

"Tai…cho…" she whispered.

"Ke!" Kanda growled and turned away.

All of a sudden, all that was left was Matsumoto's Shinigami robes and a cloud of dust.

Grasping Hyorinmaru with both hands, Hitsugaya glared at the Level 5. "Damn…"

His thoughts were halted as an all-too-familiar reiatsu and voice appeared. "TAI CHO!"

"What the (censored)?" Hitsugaya stared.

"Shorty-whitey, I just saw a zanpakuto flying away, if that's the word to be used," Kanda spoke while staring off into space.

"What? How did the hilt look like?"

"E … it looked like a normal katana , but the hilt was something like a rectangle with two triangles ."

"Aizen Sosuke?" the Shinigami all turned to look at Hitsugaya.

"Taicho, what happened?"

"Aizen's sword , Kyoka Suigetsu, just created a clone of you and kinda 'killed' you. Am I not right, Mr. Akuma?"

"Heh, seems that you're quite smart."

"Taicho?" consecutive voices rang out at one time.

Renji, Yumichika and Rukia looked at each other.

"What?"

"What?"

"WHAT?!"

"What on earth are you three 'what?'ing about ?"

"I feel taicho!" Renji pointed north. "He's somewhere there."

"He's over there!" Rukia pointed south. "I can feel nii-sama's reiatsu from there!"

"Taicho's over there, over at the east." Yumichika remarked, turning towards the east.

"Okay, I'm getting this clear.

"Zaraki is at the east, Byakuya is both at the North and the South.

"Firstly, it is impossible for someone to be in two places at once.

"And secondly, Byakuya is over here, behind me." Hitsugaya gestured to where a distant figure could be seen.

"…Reinforcements?"

"Ohohoh so your weak Soul Society sent reinforcements?" the Akuma giggled.

"Shaddup man, I'm not from Soul Society." Kanda, offended, shot back an instant irritable retort.

"Ohhh so why didn't the Black Order send more Exorcists?" the Akuma mimicked Kanda's voice.

"None of your business." Kanda snapped back.

"Yea, why aren't there more Exorcists?" Renji asked.

"None of your business."

"Why?"

"None of your business."

"WHY!?"

"SHUT UP."

"…"

"Why on earth are you always like this…"

"By the way, Kanda, did you see the chibified you inside the kitchen terrorizing Komui?"

"What chibified me?"

"There"

"…" Kanda leapt to the window, where he saw a miniature self (wearing dog ears), miniature Lavi (wearing rabbit ears), miniature Lenalee (wearing cat ears), miniature Allen (wearing beansprouts) and a big grown-up Komui (wearing chicken feathers).

"WHAT THE (insert censored)" he yelled, jumping back from the window.

"Kehhh I did that, aren't you cuteeeeeee?" the Akuma cooed, before lasering out Kanda's evil mini twin.

"Darn you."

"Don't fight him!"

"Why?"

"You'll die! See what she did to Yachiru?"

"Who's the moron cursing me?" Yachiru suddenly jumped up from Matsumoto's shoulder, where she was supposedly half-dead.

"Ehh… 'Chiru…" Matsumoto spoke gently.

"Yea, Matsu-chan?"

"Get back to sleep."

"Let's continue our conversation."

"Yea."

"Yachiru didn't die, did she?"

"OBVIOUSLY I DID NOT!"

"I'm not talking to you, idiot!"

"That's not respectful."

"Well! Seems that we have a very exciting party here, eh?"

"Zaraki-taicho!"

"E. Wow, Yachi, what got ya into such a bloody mess?"

"That thing." Yachiru's murderous reiatsu came flooding back, scaring the wits out of Matsumoto.

"'Chiru! Don't do that!"

"Eheheheh, did that thing put bald-head into this mess too?"

"Yes!"

"Huh. Well! They look like they can put up quite a good fight! HYAAAA!" Thus speaking, Zaraki dashed full-speed toward the chibi Shinigami and the Akuma.

"Zaraki-taicho!" Yumichika shouted.

"Heh! This is easy." He commented, slicing through the chibi form of Hitsugaya.

"Ouch." Hitsugaya groaned, bleeding where Zaraki had sliced his chibi.

"Taicho!" Matsumoto cried out.

"Eea, I'm okay."

"Chire, Senbonzakura." Byakuya's voice rang out over the hubbub, and thousands of sakura leaves fluttered toward the Akuma and the chibi Shinigami.

"Nani? You expect me to be killed by these sakura petals?" sneered the Akuma, placing the chibis in front of him to build a defence.

Without any reply, Byakuya flash-stepped to behind the Akuma, before proceeding to literally slice his back.

The Akuma bent down, as if in defeat. "How…" a sudden explosion erupted over the ground he stood.

"HAHAHA. Got ya tricked! I'm made from blood of the Arankaru and Akuma, d'ya expect me to die so easily? In any case, I'm a Level 5 and this battle should be ending"

"Not so fast." Byakuya released his bankai.

"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." The bankai sliced through the chibis , and before anyone had time to react, Zaraki was speeding on his way to the Akuma, sword raised and an orb of great reiatsu surrounding him.

A slice straight through the skull of the Akuma, straight down to the feet.

The Akuma let out a ear-piercing scream, dropping the zanpakuto and shield before totally dispersing into mid air. Rukia could swear she heard an 'arigato…'.

"My, my. It seems that you have managed to defeat my trusted Level 5, Exorcists and Soul Reapers!

"However, it's a little too late, because you've already injured your own comrades, have you not?

"I have a message from the Earl, as well as my own point of view of this whole matter.

"The Earl and I, Aizen Sosuke, wish to inform you… that the comrade you think is with you… is actually not.

"He, or she is being held captive with me, and do you want to know who it is?

"I suppose you do.

"Kusajishi Yachiru has been taken captive by me, and the Earl has taken Kanda Yu.

"The two people you see with you are actually clones made by me.

"They will attack you with the power of the Espada when you are unawares… Good luck my friends."

"NANI?" Allen, Lavi and Lenalee came out of the house, pulled along by Lenalee.

"K-Kanda…"

"'Chiru…" Matsumoto stared at the young girl on her shoulder, bleeding profusely. "Is it true…?"

"Matsumoto."

"Hai, taicho?"

"I need your help –"

"Ouch!" Zaraki growled.

Yumichika had just kicked him in the head.

"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, FEATHERS?"

"I'm not Feathers. Is fukutaicho really… taken captive?"

"How would I know?" Zaraki retorted irritably.

"She's your lieutenant!"

"Whatever."

"Ken-chan, what would you do if you were me?"

"What?"

"If you were me… and you were stuck in such a crappy situation as this."

"Crappy situation… I don't think it's very crappy."

"Whatever."

"I would go and look for bells to put in my hair."

"Oh."

"Yea."

"Ken-chan."

"Yea?"

"Shiroro wants you to help him finish the paperwork I spilt green tea on."

"WHAT?"

"Yea."

"Do it yourself."

"But he asked me to ask you to do it!"

"I'm asking you to do it!"

"…"

"…"

"Ow." Ikkaku grunted, one of the bones in his side cracking.

"Oha-yo" Yumichika greeted his friend with a can of gel in his hand and a book of 'How to Style one's hair for Battle' .

"Yumichika. Where's this?"

"Somewhere over the rainbow"

Ikkaku threw a pillow at Yumichika.

"Noooo MY HAIR! T.T MY HAIR!"

"You deserved that, Feather-head."

Yea , lame chapter :p

The ending was especially lame.

But yea, whatever

And I'm so evil to hold Kanda and Yachiru captive.

Look, they're over there and they're gonna get it if you don't review.

Personally, I didn't want to hold them captive.

But Aizen took me into his service and –

NOOOOOOOOO DON'T KILL ME.

Lavi: Please ignore this.

Kanda & Yachiru: You're gonna get it!

abilityPOINT: go after skillPOINT, not ME !
