I just like wasting room up here by typing random things :) sorry for the random title cause I suck as naming stuff (i named my pink skelanimal bat "pinky") but seriously, why does he have to pick his nose in public? . and then he sticks that same hand in a bag of chips xD

the title was gonna be "Why Does Omaeda Pick His Nose In Public?" but it was too long and it wouldn't let me type it in T.T i'll just stfu now so you can read :3

"Are you sure we're going in the right direction? It feels like we've been running for hours," Kimaru complained, leaning against a wall to catch his breath.

Tsukiro sent him a glare, "Well why don't you lead the way then? I'm pretty sure your sense of direction is better than mine," he added sarcastically.

Kimaru gulped, then decided to take the focus off of himself, "Shouldn't the person of higher seat lead the way?"

I scoffed, "As if I can find my way around in this maze! I don't get why they have to make this place so complicated, that even someone who's lived here for 40 years don't know how to get around."

Makuno looked like a dear caught in the headlight, "Tch, I never bothered to take my time exploring this place. And it's not like we're the only ones getting lost around here."

We shrugged, "Yeah, good point."

'Hm, I wonder how the rest of the squad are doing?... Hopefully they're finding their way around better than we are...'

A soft fluttering caused me to look up, "A Hell Butterfly?"

I raised my hand and it landed gracefully on my finger. After I got the message, I nodded and it fluttered away.

"What is it?" Kimaru asked.

I sighed, "All the Vice-Captains are here now so we're continuing the stupid meeting," I grumbled. "Just go on without me."

Using Shunpo, I arrived at the 1st division just in time. Looking around, everyone was here except for Yachiru, who was probably giving Kenpachi the wrong directions around Seireitei.

Lemura, the 3rd seat of the 4th division began speaking, "Listen up vice-captains, here is the periodic report. 11th division, 3rd seat, Madarame Ikkaku and 5th seat, Ayasegawa Yumichika, will draw back from the front line due to serious injuries. A detailed report of injuries on each division is still pending investigation. Also, there is a report stating that 11th division is near the edge of total annihilation."

My eyes widened, "11th division?!"

"No way..." Momo gasped.

"To cause this much damage in such a short amount of time after invading is impossible," Shuuhei said, finding it hard to believe all this.

"What a useless bunch!" Omaeda smirked, picking his nose. 'Ew...' -_-

Lemura continued, despite our murmuring, "There are three confirmed Ryoka up to this point, and according to the information, two of them have taken a member of 4th division hostage and are coming here. But since then, their spiritual presence can no longer be detected, and therefore their whereabouts are unknown."

From my right, I could feel Renji tense up and I dare to sneak a glance at him. His eyes were serious, something I have rarely seen before, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"Either way, it's necessary to collect more information," Rangiku stated.

Iba crossed his arms, "To tell you the truth, our 4th seat hasn't replied since either. I think he was defeated too, so go take a look around West 20."

"Isn't that Jiroubou?" I asked.

Shuuhei nodded, "That's right, Jidanbou's brother."

"What on Earth is going on?" Kira exclaimed.

I furrowed my eyebrows as everyone started talking amongst themselves. The Ryoka has caused so much trouble already and have encountered most squads except ours! I need to see for myself if one of them really is my brother! How can they cause so much damage yet I still couldn't find them?!

"Oi Renji, do you-?"

But he was already gone, with the door swinging back and forth slowly. Dammit... Don't tell me he's going after them by himself?! But if I follow him, maybe he can lead me to them. Heh, this is the best idea I've had all day! I quietly snuck out as well, not knowing that Momo had notice our disappearance.

Tailing Renji wasn't that hard, after all, he's the only guy I know around here with bright red hair. I just really hope he knows where he's going, or following him would've served me no purpose at all. He came to a stop at the stairs near the large white tower. "I know you're there, Kinomi," he said.

My jaw dropped, and here I thought I hid my reiatsu perfectly. Or maybe he heard me when I tripped and ran into the wall? I quickly closed my mouth and stood jumped down behind him, "Who are you waiting for?"

"I think you already know." He slid his glasses over his eyes and stared straight ahead, waiting for the fog to clear up.

"You know, your glasses will only get broken again," I sighed.

As the fog started clearing up, I saw 3 figures walking closer to us.

"Long time no see," Renji said, pushing his glasses up, uncovering his eyes.

"Hah! So you're just wearing the glasses cause you think they make you look coole-" he immediately clasped his hand over my mouth, "Shut up!" he whispered loudly, pushing me back to make sure I was completely hidden from whoever those 3 were.

He turned back to the figures in front of us, "Do you still remember my face?"

"How could anyone not?" I snorted, earning a slap to the head this time.

"I would love to forget it, but there's a mountain of stuff I have to repay you for, Abarai Renji."

I knew that voice anywhere, even though it got a bit deeper, I knew for sure it was him. 'Ichigo...'

Renji lightly smirked, "How surprising, you remember my name. Well done."

"Thank you," he replied, watching Renji descend down the stairs, not knowing who was walking behind him.

"Let's cut the crap shall we Ichigo? There's someone I want you to see," he stepped to the side, revealing my small figure.

I looked up, meeting his gaze.

"Ichigo..." I mumbled.

"K-Kinomi?" he stuttered. I nodded, "Hai."

We just stood there for a few seconds, staring at each other, not knowing what to say. While the other two people standing behind him looked back and forth between us.

"Hey Ichigo," the big guy in the green nudged him. "You know that girl?"

He nodded slowly, "Yeah... she's my sister..."

"Sister?!"

"I'll explain later," he said calmly.

"Whatever, just be careful. Both of their reiatsu is on a totally different level compared to the guys we fought earlier."

The shinigami boy standing next to him gasped and stuttered, taking a step back as Renji walked closer, "Th-They're both vice-captains! Abarai Renji from the 6th Division and Kurosaki Kinomi from the 13th Division!"

"Vice-Captains?!" the man gasped.

"I'm honestly surprised," Renji began talking. "I thought you had died from Kuchiki-Taichou's attack.

My eyes widened as Ichigo stepped forward too, and the man in green tried to get him to stop. "Renji... don't tell me you're going to fight him..." I called out.

"Soul Society's laws," was his only answer and then turned back to Ichigo. "I don't know how you survived, but you are something indeed. I shall compliment you on that."

"Wait, Renji, don't!" But my pleads were ignored.

I don't know how strong my brother is, but I do know how strong Renji is. The guy's practically Captain level! If they fight, BOTH of them are going to get hurt!

"Kinomi, say your goodbyes because I'll be finished with him soon enough," Renji growled. I shook my head, no this is not happening.

Ichigo glared, "Don't bother, Kinomi. We'll catch up later once I'm through with him."

They both pulled our their zanpakutos. "Looks like I'll have to force you to let me through!" Ichigo charged as Renji got in a stance. "Just give it a try!" he challenged. "Kinomi, you better stand back!"

"Don't tell her what to do, you bastard!"

"Shut up! As long as you're alive, Rukia won't be able to get her powers back!" Renji pointed Zabimaru at him.

"What do you, the one who took her back only to sentence her to death, have to say about that?!"

This was it. Their swords finally clashed and I was stuck watching the whole scene. The fight between my brother and my friend.
