Chapter 13:
Momo was still shocked on what she had witnessed. "N-No…. Shiro..chan…." She can't think clearly, her mind was totally blank. She continued to cry on the ground, not caring of her surroundings. The smoke that the cero caused began to dispersed.
"Well, well… That's quite close… I'm glad I make it on time…" a voice coming from the cloud of smoke was heard. Upon hearing that voice, stopped from crying and look up. She noticed a silhouette on the cloud of smoke where Toushiro was last seen. "Who's…that?" Momo thought. She stared at that particular spot until all the smoke were cleared. She narrowed her eyes and gasped.
"U..Ukitake…taicho?" Momo mumbled. The said man who was being shielded by a certain Kidou looked at her and smiled.
"Are you hurt, Hinamori-fukutaicho?" Ukitake asked. Momo just shook her head. She noticed someone behind Ukitake. "Sh…Shiro-chan?" Momo thought.
"Shiro-chan!" Momo called him who was on his knees behind Ukitake. She hurriedly ran to his side and hugged him tightly.
"S-Shiro-chan…Thank goodness… your safe… I… I thought I would lose you… I don't want that to happen…I love you, S-Shiro-chan… I don't know what I should do if I lose you..." Momo said as she continued to cry and hug Shiro-chan much tighter than before. Young Toushiro blushed at her sudden confession but hugged her back. Meanwhile, Ukitake just watch the two young Shinigamis who shared their affections to each other that moment. "The kids are growing up.." Ukitake smiled at the thought but his expression turned serious when he sensed the enemy's spiritual pressure.
"Hadou # Sokatsui!" a burst of blue spiritual energy was charged over the blue-haired Arrancar who was Momo's opponent earlier. The Arrancar got alerted and he dodged the attack but he got attacked again by Ukitake from behind.
"You bastard!" the Arrancar attack but only got blocked by Ukitake.
"Hadou # 88. Hiryugekizokushintenraiho." Ukitake charged the gigantic electricity blast of spiritual energy at the arrancar creating an enormous explosion. The Arrancar fell down to the ground, injured. He noticed Momo and young Toushiro at the ground and a smirk appeared his face.
"Die, shinigami!" The arrancar was ready to stabbed Momo when Ukitake stabbed him first to his chest from behind.
"It's not very nice of you to try to interrupt the wonderful moment of those two." Ukitake said.
"Sh..Shit… Damn you, Shinigamis…" the arrancar said as he quickly turned into ashes. Ukitake sighed.
"Hmm…I wonder.. How are Kurosaki-kun and the others?" Ukitake said as he looks up.
Meanwhile, Ichigo and the others were busy fighting their own opponents.
"Tch. I want to end this right now." Ichigo put his right hand in front of his face and his hollow masked appeared. "Getsuga Tenshou!" He launched his attacked to his opponent who also transformed into an arrancar. The arrancar got alerted and avoided his attack.
"Tch. You're one tough guy." Ichigo said as he charges towards his opponent.
Not too far away, Yumichika and Ikkaku were busy dealing with their own opponents.
"Ugh, this is annoying!" Ikkaku said as he attacks his opponent. His opponent, which is spiky black-haired arrancar blocked his attack and swung his sword at Ikkaku. Ikkaku easily dodged it and attacked him again. "Hah! Not bad!" The arrancar pushed Ikkaku away by applying force using his sword. Ikkaku flipped backwards and landed on his feet.
"I'm getting impatient, I want to end this now." Ikkaku said then he looked over Yumichika. "Hey Yumichika! Let's end this now! This fight is getting so boring now!" he yelled at him.
"I agree with you, Ikkaku!" Yumichika replied back. "Split and Deviate, Ruri'iro Kujaku!"
"Grow, Hozukimaru!" Ikkaku activated his shikai and attacked his opponent. "Hey, maybe you should help Matsumoto out there. I'm fine by myself here…"
"Hai,hai… If you say so…" Yumichika replied and shunpoed going to Matsumoto.
Meanwhile, not too far away, Rukia is too busy eliminating all the menos around the area.
"Next Dance, Hakuren!" Rukia used his shikai's power to freeze one of the menos grande. She was panting now. Then suddenly someone patted her shoulders. She turned around and saw Ukitake smiling at her.
"Take it easy, Kuchiki…" Ukitake said.
"Ukitake-taicho…" Rukia mumbled as she smiled.
"All Waves, Rise now and Become my Shield, Lightning, Strike now and Become my Blade, Sogyo no Kotowari!" Juushiro activated his shikai. "Let's go, Kuchiki…"
"Hai!" Rukia said in agreement and held her zanpaktou firmly.
"But before that, let's deal with that captured arrancar." Ukitake said as he turned his gaze to the red-haired arrancar that Momo captured awhile ago. "Hado 91. Senju Koten Taiho!" a several spears of light are all fired towards the captured red-haired arrancar. The explosion that this attack created startled them all.
"Well, then,let's get this over…" Ukitake said. He looked down to the ground where Momo and Toushiro are. "Hinamori-chan! Please look over to young Hitsugaya-taicho as we finish this battle!" He shouted that got the attention of the raven-haired lieutenant.
"H-Hai!" Momo replied back. Upon hearing this, Ukitake smiled and then resumed his attention to menos grande in front of them.
"Let's go to safer place, Shiro-chan…" Momo said as Toushiro nodded in agreement. She lifted him up and shunpoed away.
The menos grande shot a cero towards Ukitake and Rukia. Ukitake held his zanpaktou in front of him. As the cero hit his left zanpaktou, it absorbed the cero and went through it. Ukitake shot back the cero to the group of menos in front of him, taking down 5 menos. Rukia watched in awe. "Sugoi…" Rukia complimented him in her thoughts. She clutched her zanpaktou tighter. "I must do the same…"
"First dance, Tsukishiro!" One of the menos grande froze in ice. The ice cracked and shattered into pieces along with the menos grande.
"Good going, Kuchiki!" Ukitake complimented her and smiled. Rukia smiled back and resumed her attention to the menos grandes in front of them.
"Ukitake-taicho… The menos aren't decreasing…At this rate…" Rukia sounded worried.
"Don't worry, Kuchiki… We just need to eliminate every one of them… When we eliminate most of them, they will get scared and will decide to retreat soon… So for now..we just need to focus on eliminating them…" Ukitake replied and offered her a reassuring smile.
"I understand, sir!" Rukia said.
Ichigo's opponent swung it's sword repeatedly at Ichigo with more force. Ichigo was having a hard time blocking his strong attacks. "Tch…I have to end this now…" Ichigo pushed him off of him and then flipped over.
"Sorry but I need to finish this fight now." Ichigo said as he held his zangetsu tightly. He suddenly disappearead surprising the arrancar. "What the—"
"Getsuga Tenshou!" Ichigo launched his attack towards the arrancar from behind. The arrancar had no time to dodge it. Ichigo slashed him horizontally on his stomach.
"D-Damn…it…." The arrancar cursed under his breath as he turned into ashes.
"Yosh! That's quite tiring." Ichigo said as his hollow mask disappeared. He looked over Ikkaku's direction . "Heh! Looks like Ikkaku was already done fighting too.."
Ikkaku sheathed his Zanpaktou back. He yawned and looked over to his opponent that was now turned into ashes and was carried away by the wind. He looked over to Yumichika.
"Hey Yumichika!" Are you done already?" Ikkaku shouted. Yumichika looked up to him.
"Of course! It was just a piece of cake!" Yumichika replied back.
"Oh…Really?" Rangiku teased. YUmichika jerked his head to looked at her.
"What was that?" Yumichika said. Rangiku turned her head away to him. "Wha—you!"
"The menos grandes were retreating back now…" Rukia mumbled as she watched the menos grande went back inside the garganta.
"Yeah…" Ukitake said. They watched them retreat and after a few minutes the garganta was finally closed.
Momo smiled as she watched the whole scene. "Finally…we can go back home now…" Momo thought. She looked down to young Toushiro who also looked up to her. She bent down and kissed him on the forehead. Young Toushiro blushed a bit at the sudden act of affection. "And we can still be together…forever…"
