Rukia felt her opponent's presence near her ever since the explosion occurred. She used flash step at the last possible moment during the BAM!!
That had seemed to work, since she dodged the hollow that had rushed in her direction. It was on all fours, and had an over-sized tail. Its head and mask were sort of merged at the top, forming two very weird-looking spikes. Rukia was disappointed when she found out that she would be facing a low-level reiastu hollow.
'Kidou would work on the likes of these…' Rukia thought. The dark-haired shinigami then adjusted her form, gathered reiatsu in the right spots, and prepared to strike. "Hadou Go-ju-shi! Haien!! (1)" A burst of fire then headed towards Rukia's opponent, hitting it right on the mark.
Rukia was surprised when the hollow burst out of the puff of smoke. 'That hollow should have been incinerated with that technique!!' But, the shinigami gasped when she noticed that something had changed with the hollow.
"Damn it…it got stronger somehow…" was all that escaped Rukia's mouth as she dodged the now stronger hollow's barrages.
Rukia then started flinging every Kidou spell she knew, each time the hollow got more aggressive. The hollow then showed up behind her, and Rukia instinctively drew out her zanpakuto…
..which the hollow snapped in two…
"Oh…crap…"
--Spec. Edition. Pov.--
I was writing away the events, practically paying attention to every detail in the fights. Regardless of the fact that my hide was practically bleeding from the ant bites, I paid my full attention to the orange notebook that I was scribbling in.
'Oho! Nice one Ichigooo!! Hey….that hollow Chad's fighting kinda looks like Ikkaku…Ishida's doin' backflips…? What the hell? And why do I see two Tsubakis in the battle field…?? Weird…wait….Where the fu--' I froze as one of Ichigo's blasts was heading towards me.
I closed my eyes, waiting to see my incinerated corpse as well as a broken chain. 'I'll have to reveal myself to Rukia-neesan after this…' Then, all of a sudden, I feel something grab onto my waist, and I saw the bush-now-crater that I was hiding in was now very far away, a raccoon was holding me and a friggin' human-sized fox was inches away from my face!
"Who. The f. Are. You. Two?" I said, pulling up my pants, since Mr. Raccoon here tore through my belt with his claws.
"Inquisitive, aren't we?" OMG. A feminine voice came from the raccoon errr badger--err…thing…!
"Unfortunately you won't be seeing us anytime soon…" the fox giggled…Oh god…another girl…whose waaaayyyy too close…
"But, just in case…" mr--errr MISS raccoon continued…
"Futa-go speaking." They said together…freaaaky…
"Oh…and about those pants…" the fox giggled, pointing to the lower-half of my body.
"Oh…shi--"
--awww.man--
'This is practically foolish, but I don't have a choice…' the black-haired shinigami closed her eyes. Then took in a deep breath, one that she thinks could be her last, and said "Hadou Ju-Kyuu! Kutohitsugi!(2)"
Rukia heard the blast, as well as the sound of the hollow getting hit. Deciding to open her eyes, she had high hopes that she would see a disintegrating hollow, but luck isn't with her today.
The hollow got up, like one of those zombies from a movie, and was now looming over Rukia. The said girl was practically glued to the spot because of how fucking high the hollow's reiatsu was now. It was right at this moment that Rukia figured out why she wasn't able to win with kidou. 'Oh shit. A reiatsu-absorber.'
If Rukia could move, she would have closed her eyes. "This is it, then." She thought as the hollow advanced, fully knowing that she'll be on her way to reincarnation a minute later….
…had it not been for a white blur from the sky slamming into the hollow.
…white….?
A panting Rukia looked around wondering who it was. She saw all her friends were fighting, although none of them were looking at her. 'That hollow must have absorbed more reiatsu than I thought.'
..yuki(3)….
'That's it…!' a smirking Rukia then stepped back. Adjusting her position, she made the preparations for her counter-attack. "Mae, Sode no Shirayuki(4)."
3.
Now, Rukia had gotten her confidence back. "San no mai, Shirafune(5)" She smirked as her word was now re-forming, and now it was back to its original state, the only difference is its color, the tsuba and the white ribbon from the pommel.
2.
"Tsugi no mai, Hakuren." A blast of ice then left Sode no Shirayuki, freezing the hollow's feet. Thus rendering it to stay glued to the spot.
1!
"Some no mai, tsukishiro!" A circle then formed around the helpless hollow. White light emerged all around it. And when the light faded, all that remained of the hollow was a poorly-made ice sculpture, which shattered to bits seconds later.
Rukia smiled as she put her hands to her waist. Looking up, she said "And that, my friend was how one of the most beautiful swords of Soul Society works…Oh, and thank you." She said with a smile, directed towards the blur.
--Imagination Break…!!--
PNinja: We're back… (enters via the door, Rukia goes in after) So, did ya see Rukia-neesan kick hollow butt?
Tatsuki: (snickers) How's the baby's pants??
PNinja: (Holds pants up) Is it me or do I smell lemon…?
Inoue: Wow…do you have powers, too? I'm making a burger with chips and oreos and marshmallows with my newly-invented lemon sauce!
PNinja: ….good luck with that….Ishida, sew another belt for me..? A claw-proof one??
Ishida: Always with the demands…
Kon: (appears outta who-knows-where) ONEEEESS-- (Rukia steps on Kon)
PNinja: Anywaaaayyyyy….. you guys are probably curious 'bout what Rukia-neesan used in the battle a while ago, so we're gonna have to let her explain. Right, neesan?
Rukia: As long as you keep me from your perversions, I'm ok with it.
PNinja: You know I won't do that….
Rukia: ….
PNinja: Pleeeaaasseeee…..Neesan?
Rukia: The first technique that was used in the battle was (1) Hadou Go-ju-shi- Haien. In English, this would mean Hadou no. 54, Waste flame. This, as you can see, generates a blast of fire from the user, and is meant to burn targets of low reiatsu.
Rukia: The last Hadou technique(2) is Hadou no. 90: black coffin. As you have seen from my movements, this technique is powerful but difficult to use. It is often used as a last resort in heavy struggles.
Rukia: There, happy now?
PNinja: Arigatou, neesan! By the way… yuki(3) means snow and 'Mae, Sode no Shirayuki(4)' is Rukia-neesan's shikai command, which means 'Dance, Sleeve's White Snow'. The command with shirafune(5) would mean 'third dance, white sword', hakuren (6) would mean 'next dance, white ripple', and tsukishiro(7) would mean 'first dance, white moon'.
PNinja: Ok….Sorry to inform you guys but…I'll have to…..skip the parts where Inoue, Chad and Ishida fight…Good news: I'll try to post the next chapter the next night...I'm getting really excited at what's gonna happen next and I can't think of anything else--
Tatsuki: Aside from that fox inc--
PNinja: Yeah, yeah…Now watch out for the next chapter, coming directly from the bowels of Mt. Tralala!! It's gonna get pre-tty emo!!
Inoue: Yay!
Tatsuki: Greeeaaaat….just PEACHY!
Ishida: (sneezes) Here's your flimsy belt…brat…
PNinja: (fastens belt) Gesunheit…which means…Sinong 'di naligo?? (Who forgot to take a bath??)
--Watch out next time!!--
