P.S. I lot happens in this chapter...
Chapter 02:
"Oh and what is that?" He said turning towards her. "Do you really think you can stand a chance against me?"
"No- I don't have to think about it. I know I can kick your ass." She said stopping feet away from him.
"I'd like to see you try..." Saeki said pulling out his zanpakuto. "Open game- shouhasen. first move- ichideyou." He said as his zanpakuto turned into two swords both double bladed on both sides. "I was going to keep you around until I could get the Yaya power and an heir, but looks like that's not going to happen."
"Show 'em the light- Hiraishin." She said calling her zanpakuto out again the clouds darkening as she jumped back. "I haven't practiced with this much... but I will try it out..."
"And what would that be?" Saeki said smirking as he twirled his swords around his fingers.
"Tenka kizoku makai, enrai kizoku tentei, Rakurai, Hiraishin. shimekukuriwotsukeru!" She said as lighting shot down and hit her, "Ban kai!" Her eyes glowed in their golden state as her hair flew up when her reiatsu flared more than before. It seemed everyone could feel her reiatsu.
"No way..." Tai lee said as her and Tatsumi reached the area. "She learned her ban kai!?"
"Impossible..." Tatsumi said looking up at the top of the building where lighting struck around the two. "Where did she get so much reiatsu?!"
Saeki was pushed back a couple of feet as the smoke cleared form the lighting strike. In her left hand was a spear shaped as a lighting bolt, electricity running through it and her veins, as it was still a lighting rod, in her right hand were small needle like objects, an electric blue as she had on white gloves of her reiatsu had formed. "You're through, Koirukai Saeki!" She yelled pointing the speared lighting rod towards him.
They both went to battle, sparks flying as their blades collided. She threw a needle towards him, he barely dodged it, as it sliced his cheek a bit. "You bitch..." He said as the blood trickled down his cheek. They jumped back and continued to fight, moving so quickly that to the plain eye, all you could see is the sparks left behind to where they had just been.
"Chiyo... darling, you need to be careful..." Her father would tell her as she came in with a scratched up knee from falling off the patio.
"Okay papa..." She would sniff as the servent would bandage it up.
"My father..." Chiyo said darkly as she blocked both blades as he pushed down towards her, "You killed my father!" She yelled at him, pushing back with her lighting rod and her reiatsu.
"And you never even noticed when he was gone... how sad is that, Chiyo?!" He spat at her as he kicked her, sending her off the roof and into the ground.
"Chiyo!" Shuuhei turned to see the girl in the crater left in the ground until she hit the walls surrounding the Yaya estate. She pushed herself out of the ground and glared up at Saeki who stood there laughing ontop of the roof. "Chiyo..." She couldn't even hear him saying her name.
She pushed off and into the sky, continuing the battle with Saeki. "It's her battle, Hisagi." He looked over to see Matsumoto as she defeated a low leveled Arrancar. "She's not hearing anything else but what's in her mind and what he is saying..."
"Her father... and her mother were both killed..." He turned to see Hitsugaya-taicho standing there, his hand on his side where blood was seeping through his fingers. "And her whole estate is over-run with Doushin hollows. She had been surrrounded by them her whole life and she didn't even realize it..." He explained, "Her security is lost, and everything she had ever believed in has shattered before her eyes..."
"Chiyo..." Shuuhei said to himself as he looked up to her battle.
"She doesn't know who to trust anymore... and after this battle is over... if she is still alive, and those around her are still alive, it will take a long time for her to recover..." Hitsugaya told Hisagi, knowing from past experiences, "Wheather it be quickly or take years..."
"Hitsugaya-taicho..." Matsumoto and Hisagi both said, knowing that he was referring to his childhood friend Hinamori Momo.
"Look out!" He yelled grabbing the two and quickly moving as a cero was shot their way form a menos. "You don't have time to be lolligagging! Finnish off these menos, let the captains take the arrancar!" He commanded to them. "You two!" He pointed over to Tai Lee and Tatsumi, "defeat the doushin hollows! They keep distracting the captains from the arrancars attacks!"
"Hai, Hitsugaya-taicho!" The two girls nodded before jumping into the battle.
The short captain clasped his hand over his side again, trying to ignore the pain from his side as he grabbed his zanpakuto, "Enough playing around..." He said putting it infront of him, "Ban kai!" He yelled, his wound froze over, giving him the soothing relief he needed to continue to battle.
"Ban kai..." He heard Kuchiki-taicho say as he fought an espada level arrancar.
"Ban kai..." he heard over captains say as they all wanted to finish this quickly.
"Chiyo- you shouldn't be playing outside when the clouds are out..." A maid warned the young Chiyo again as she layed on the grass and pointed to the sky, moving the clouds. "It's a bad sign when they come..."
"But they're my friends..." She told the maid, and each time they would take her inside.
"You had them try to hide my own ability from me..." She said to herself as she battled Saeki. "And my mother..."
"Was killed by a hollow that had escaped from the Yaya estate after fighting through the doushin powers." He told her as they both landed on the roof. "Is it becoming clear to you, Chiyo? Everything you ever knew was a lie! Everyone you trusted was against you and under my control! You have nothing, Chiyo! NOTHING!"
Nothing... I have nothing... She thought to herself as she stood there.
"NO SKILLS!" She was brought out of her thoughts by Tai lee's voice. "Kick his ass! I don't know what's going on, but you better kick his ass because I still have a bone to pick with you!" Tai lee said as she and Tatsumi defeated some Doushin hollows. "AND I can't do that unless you're still alive!"
"Please be safe, Chiyo-san!" Tatsumi yelled over.
"I may not have people inside of my family anymore that I am able to trust..." She said, "I may not have anyone to believe in here... but you gave me the freedom to see beyond my family... that was a great mistake!" She yelled, "I have bonds- connections, friends, rivals, captains, vice captains, and teammates that believed in me, and encouraged me to continue on! They gave me trust, they gave me reason... and they still do!" She said thinking about Tai Lee, Tatsumi, Ririn, Shuuhei, Matsumoto, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Zaraki, Yachiru, Renji, Kira, and all of Soul Society. "Which means I can't lose to you!"
"Ennai wa sesshou! - within the circle of destruction of life" She said jumping back, Saeki looked around him, the numerous needles she had thrown at him all formed a perfect circle that he was now standing in. "Bakudou 75: Gochuu Tekan!" She said shooting the binding spell to hold Saeki into his place. "Nagurikorosu!" strike to death She yelled as the circle lit up and lighting circled on the needles.
Saeki yelled, trying to fight the binding spell and escape the circle. After few minutes, the circle lifted up and Saeki layed motionless in the circle of needles. The needles soon disappeared as Chiyo started to glide down towards the ground, her ban kai lifted off her as it returned to a normal sword in her hand. The arrancars and doushin hollows all escaped into hiding once they saw their leader down on the ground.
"Chiyo!" Tai lee and Tatsumi got to her first since they were the closest. Tai lee helped Chiyo stand as her eye lids dropped down from exhaustion. "Chiyo! You did it! You killed that bastard!" Tai lee said as Chiyo's eyes suddenly narrowed and shot back up to the roof. "What's wrong?"
"He's not dead..." She said as Saeki's reiatsu flared up. "That bastard..." She said sticking her zanpakuto into the ground and pushing herself off the ground, taking her zanpakuto with her into the air. She hovered, looking over the roof as two arrancar came and helped Saeki away.
"It's not over, Yaya Chiyo!" He yelled, "I'll get the power of Yaya and then you cannot stop me at all!" He yelled at her as he went through the gape.
She went to go after him but she was stopped when eigth squad captain, Kyouraku Shunsui jumped infront of her, stopping her. "Well, well, I think you've had enough for today. Let him leave, and you can get him next time." He told her as her eyes stayed focused on where Saeki had disappeared too. Her breaths were heavy as she still had her mind racing. "Come now... let's get you to the fourth division." He said placing a hand on her shoulder.
Her eyes widened as she suddenly realized he was the one that had stopped her. She went to go and slice at his hand when he moved it back quickly before doing so. "Don't touch me..." She hissed under her breath as she jumped down onto the roof. She turned and looked down where the other shinigami's were looking up at her, in disbelief that she just made a move to attack a captain. She turned away and made a motion to move forward when she suddenly fell to her knees and passed out from low reiatsu.
