CH10-Rescue
My legs are so weak I can barely hold myself up. "Can you walk?" I ignore his question as I try to figure out a way to break free. Grabbing my bloodied collar he drags me. I can't fight him, I can hardly move, I was relying on Niricame's strength but now I can't. Getting an idea I pull out the soul society phone and I begin to dial a number. "What are you doing?" Ichimaru reaches for the phone just as someone answers, "Hello?"
"Renji!" seeing a hand go for it I crush it against my chest, "Stupid girl." A sword goes through my other shoulder making me gasp in pain, "Kari? What's going on, and who was that?" Blood clogs my throat preventing me from answering. Aizen quickly takes the phone and tosses it to the side. "Are you going to behave now because I really don't want to kill you. You have enough injuries already." Coughing up even more blood I find it hard to stand as I start to feel faint. "Aizen, maybe she wasn't as strong as you thought she was."
"Ya well you putting holes in me isn't helping." Wiping blood from my mouth I step away from him, no longer trying to restrain me due to my pitiful state. Eyeing my sword I judge the distance from me to it and from them to me. Dropping to my knees as if I was too weak to go any farther I count the steps that he takes to get to me. Pushing off I roll right under his legs, causing my chest wound to gush blood, and grasp Niricame. Feeling her strength I stand, but as her spiritual power fills me it's too much for my body to handle. My eyes roll back into my head and I fall.
Instead of falling onto the ground I feel someone supporting me. Opening my eyes I see a blade in front of me. Tilting my head up and to the side I see Toushirou facing Ichimaru and Aizen, fury written all over his face. Glancing at my attackers I watch as Aizen's eyes narrow, apparently this wasn't part of the plan. Fast approaching footsteps stop behind us. Aizen, seeing that he is out numbered, retreats with Ichimaru close behind.
Shifting me Toushirou puts his sword away and looks at me, soon two other faces appear next to his. "How bad is she hurt?" Ichigo asks his voice thick with concern as he takes a look at all of the blood. "What do you think? She took on two ex-captains; of course she is going to be injured." Renji answers, obviously covering his worry. Ignoring them and gently pulling my Zanpakto out of my hands Toushirou puts it in my sheath. No longer having a direct connection to her power I sink into blackness, for the second time in this cursed place.
